Sohail Azimabadi wrote many stories and made a successful attempt to portray real life in them. The range of his stories’ motifs is wide. Following Prem Chand, he makes rural life his subject but does not forget the urban world. The effect of the progressive movement can also be clearly seen on him. He spoke out in support of the poor and oppressed and successfully portrayed their problems in his fiction.

He is a successful artist, he has a deep sense of art because he takes issues seriously. It's interesting because they spend a lot of time on plot and characterization and lastly, they have full access to language, so their style of presentation is very effective.Waqar Azeem writes, "Sohail's fiction does not place much emphasis on life or satire on art, but it has no bitterness, it has literature, but it does not have a poetic exaggeration. It is the truth of life, but it is more crowded."
