Rupayan (1933) is a collection of his short stories. He also wrote books for children: Chheleder Galpa (1924) and Mohan Bhog (1924). In all these writings he depicted the Muslim heritage. In the fifties, his Rupachchhanda and Masnader Moha were prescribed texts in the Bengali department of Dhaka University. Shahadat Hossain was conferred the titles of 'Kavikul Shiromani' and 'Purnendu' by Basirhat Vani Sangha. He died in Kolkata on 30 December 1953. [Wakil Ahmed]
