Later on he shifted to Gujrat and worked as a teacher in Khatro Laboha High School, Tanda Estate, Gujrat (Pakistan).
On partition in 1947, like millions of other victims, he was forced to leave his home and stayed in various camps and lastly settled in Meerut to begin a new lease of life again as a teacher. Teaching was in his blood and he was inspired by knowledge, love and service to all. Throughout his life, he followed the supremacy of the Absolute, the brotherhood of the man and the blessedness of peace and goodwill. As a teacher he always wanted his students to be exalted in excellence, truth and purity, learning and wisdom, culture and religion and above all strength of character. His message to the students was: ‘INVENT FOR THE FUTURE AND REDISCOVER THE PAST’. He left behind a legacy of enriching and fulfilling education.
