Ali's poems were published in newspapers when he was 13 years old. But this pleasure does not last long. The bloody repressions that started in the 30s of the last century changed their fates and ways. Ali is exiled to Iran with his grandmother. Immigrant life is his destiny.

The national liberation movement that began in Iran in the 1940s opened a new page in Ali's life. The poet called the people to fight with his poems written in the national spirit.

My qibla is the Motherland - the poet said, the longing for separation was in his roots and he remained faithful to the theme of longing for the Homeland and the South Azerbaijan throughout his work.
