Among his notable works are poems like “Madhushala,” “Madhubala,” “Madhukalash,” and “Raat Aadhi Kheench Kar Meri Hatheli.” He wrote prolifically, exploring various themes and styles in his poetry. Some of his other works include “Chal Mardane,” “Barsaat Ki Aati Hawa,” “Tera Haar,” and “Nisha Nimantran,” showcasing his versatility as a poet.

Bachchan’s literary contributions extend beyond poetry to miscellaneous writings.
