When eighteen, Shamsur Rahman's first poem Unishsha Unapavchash was published in Sonar Bangla in 1943 edited by Nalinikishore Guha. They included Zillur Rahman Siddiqui, Hasan Hafizur Rahman, Syed Muhammad Ali, Saber Reza Karim, Tariqul Alam, Abu Zafar Obaidullah, Badruddin Omar, Abul Maal Abdul Muhit, Mustafa Kamal, Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed, Syed Ali Kabir and Abdul Gaffar Choudhury.
