He then completed his Matriculation from [[University of Bombay]] during 1910-1912. It is reported that he used to be ill most of the time during this period. Therefore, he reverted to Hyderabad and took admission at the [[Nizam College]], from where he completed his Intermediate in 1915. That same year, he sat for the [[Hyderabad Civil Service]] (H.C.S.) examination, and stood first in the competition. He entered the HCS in 1916.

After entering the civil service, his first posting was for revenue training in [[Akola]] and [[Amraoti]]. In subsequent years, he passed the departmental examination of [[Central Provinces and Berar |C.P. and Berar]], and stood first in Berar in the Revenue Higher Examination. He then passed the Judicial Higher examination with credit, and the Accounts Higher and Survey Higher exams as well.

==Migration to Pakistan==

After the independence of India and Pakistan in August 1947, the [[State of Hyderabad]] experienced a period of great uncertainty. The [[Nizam]] refused to accede to either India or Pakistan although he had inclinations towards Pakistan. Landlocked by India, he could not afford to declare an immediate merger with Pakistan. During the following year, India consolidated its position, and finally invaded [[Hyderabad State]] in October 1948. This invasion is also given the misnomer of “Police Action”, although it was a full invasion by the Indian army.

The fall of [[Hyderabad State]] to the invading Indian forces in 1948 had a devastating impact on most of the noble families of Hyderabad. Many of them migrated to Pakistan, Gulf States, or Europe. Kazi Zainul Abedin also decided to make his move to seek safety for his family. He moved first to Bombay and then took a passenger ship to the port city of Karachi at the end of 1948.

Thus, a year after the creation of [[Pakistan]], Kazi Zainul Abedin moved to Pakistan and settled down in [[Mirpurkhas]], Sindh in 1948. He had lost all of his vast estate in Hyderabad and [[Udgir]] along with most of his belongings. He had to start his life afresh after in his old age, after having led a very successful life. The government of Pakistan partly compensated him out of the evacuee properties left behind by those Hindus who had migrated to India. He was given nearly 1,000 acres of land in [[Mirpurkhas]] along with a flour mill and a printing press.

For the next several years, he struggled to establish himself. He spent the rest of his years at [[Mirpurkhas]] in developing agricultural farms and social work in that area. Most of the area of the province of [[Sindh]] was backward. The British had not paid enough attention towards the development of these towns and villages. It was an uphill task to work towards development projects and help in alleviating poverty in the region.

Kazi Zainul Abedin died on 23 May 1962 and was buried on his farms in [[Mirpurkhas]].


==Family==

Kazi Zainul Abedin was married first to Sahibni Begum (popularly known as Pasha Begum) in the year 1919. She was the great grand-daughter of the famous Sufi of Tekmal [[Sayyid Sahib Husayni]]. She bore him 2 sons (Kazi Abdur Rasheed and Kazi Abdul Qayum), and four daughters (Razia Begum, Aliya Begum, Humaira Begum, and Abida Begum). His wife Sahibni Begum died at a very young age in 1929.

Since his children were very young, Kazi Zainul Abedin decided to get married again. He married Zohra Begum, who was the daughter of Kazi Ahmed Muneeruddin, the Kazi of [[Parbhani]], and a niece of his first wife. Zohra Begum bore him one daughter (Zakiya Begum), and three sons (Kazi Saeeduddin Masood, Kazi Badruddin Saeed, and Kazi Mazharuddin Tariq).

==Poetry==
Kazi Zainul Abedin was a poet in his own right, and has published his collection of poems ([[Diwan (poetry)|''diwan'']]) as well. He used to write under the pen-name ([[takhallus]]) of Abid.

Many of his poems and short couplets are engraved on buildings, monuments and projects in [[Hyderabad State]] that he inaugurated or established. Oftentimes, his couplets would depict the year of establishment of that particular building or monument through literary forms. He was famous for using the Arabic letters that had a numerical value to determine an actual date through names and poetic couplets.

He named his children and grandchildren in a manner that the same Arabic letters within the name would add up to the year of birth. This was a great art that he had mastered.

==Publications==
Kazi Zainul Abedin has authored a number of articles and books on poetry, literature, history, religion, and ethics.

Some of his books that have been published are as follows:

*"On Splendour of Ajanta Caves".
*"Diwan-e-Abid” – collection of his poetry
