He resigned from his career and moved to Bombay to write lyrics for Urdu/Hindi films other than ghazals and nazms for general publication in 1949. He met with other progressive writers, like Mulk Raj Anand, Krishan Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, and Ismat Chugtai, who often dined at Bombay's Silver Fish Restaurant and became known as the 'Bombay Group of Writers'. He came late as a film lyricist, but his wife, who had stayed back in Bhopal, was rescued by her husband, who died early of cancer in 1953. He finally had a career breakthrough, with Yasmeen (1955), with music by C. Ramchandra. Madan Mohan, the music director, resulted in several memorable film songs.

Rafi in Chhoo Mantar, the hit Piya piya piya piya piya piya piya piya. Nayyar (Ayyar) is a city in Shankar Hussain (1977).
His poetry was secular, and he, like many of the leftist writers of his day, discussed liberty, honour, economic exploitation, and other topics. And his romanticism, which was abundantly displayed in his ghazals, was brimming with references to household and family life. His books include Nazr-e-Butaan, Salaasil, Javidaan, Ghar Angan, and Khaak-e-Dil (all Urdu titles).One of his many famous couplets is :
Ashaar mere yuu n to zamaane ke liye hai.n. kuchh sher faqat sunaane ke liye hai.
Although my poems are meant for the whole world, there are a couplets that are exclusive to the beloved.
Bahu Begum (1967), starring Pradeep Kumar and Meena Kumari, was he wrote and produced a film. Khak-e-Dil (The Ashes of Heart) is one of his three collections of his poems, the best of which being Khak-e-Dil (The Ashes of Heart), which has his representative poems from 1935 to 1970 and which received the Sahitya Akademi Award (Urdu) in 1976. By Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, to compile the best Hindustani poetry of the last 300 years, Jan Nisar was commissioned, and Indira Gandhi published the first edition of the book titled Hindustan Hamara (Our Hindustan) in two volumes. It contained Urdu verses on a variety of topics ranging from love and praise for India and its history to festivals such as Holi and Diwali, as well as Indian rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, and the Himalayas.
