During the Bangladesh Liberation War he wrote a number of poems based on the War.
He wrote his famous poem Asader Shirt which was written with respect to the mass uprising of 1969 led by Maulana Bhasani. He had to go through the political turbulence of 60's and 70's which was also reflected in his poems clearly. Shamsur Rahman's first book of poetry, Prothom Gaan Dwityo Mrittyur Agey (First Song Before the Second Death) was published in 1960. He had a long career as a journalist and served as the Editor of a national daily, Dainik Bangla and the Weekly Bichitra in the 1980s.
In 1949, his poem Unishsho Unoponchash was published in Sonar Bangla which was then edited by Nalinikishor Guho.
Shamsur Rahman started writing poetry at the age of eighteen, just after graduating from the Dhaka Collage. Major themes in his poetry and writings include liberal humanism, human relations, romanticised rebellion of youth, the emergence of and consequent events in Bangladesh, and opposition to religious fundamentalism. A prolific writer, he produced more than sixty books of poetry collection and is considered a key figure in Bangla literature from the latter half of the 20th century.
