With an inherent love for humanity and egalitarian principles, his works do reflect the social and human issues. सत्यशाला (Satyashala (The House of Truth): 161 Easiest, deepest and upmost truths) मूलतः जीवन दर्शन है। अनवर जमाल की यह हिंदी काव्य-रचना सत्य, यथार्थ, शुचिता का चिन्तन और उनकी खोज का पर्याय है। मनुष्य का आचरण स्वैच्छिक, पारिवारिक, शारीरिक, धार्मिक, सामाजिक और विधिक बंधनों में होता है। हम जो भी करते हैं वो विभिन्न बंधनों की माप पर सही अथवा ग़लत तो हो सकता है, किन्तु वास्तव में हम कुछ भी सत्य के विरुद्ध नहीं करते। सत्यशाला ब्रह्मांड के सतत् सत्य की माला है। एक बिंदु से अभ्युदय और प्रतिदिन, प्रतिछण होता विस्तार और जीवन में ईश का हस्तक्षेप। हमारे कर्म और आचार की दिशा, हमारा सामाजिक और आध्यात्मिक अस्तित्व। The first notable performance came when he received First prize in Ghazal Competition organised in Sulaiman Hall of AMU in 2003.

It infuses freshness, serenity and peace. The Poetic form of thoughts - Gloom or Bloom, binds every soul. Peace and Serenity shall be the natural outcome of our common joy - Urdu. Barbar acknowledged on Urduwala about his immense love with Urdu. Let us enjoy, feel and create in Urdu! How sweet the world would be with the sweetness of Urdu around. Shairi, Ghazal or Nazm are just one of the few tools that Urdu has for its expression. The truth is Urdu directly affects our hearts and permanently resides in our soul. And Hindi being the closest kin, let us enjoy the charm of Hindi-Urdu together!!"
