In the early years of his life, he learned to read and write from his father and later at madrasas under the guidance of several religious teachers. He read the Gulistan and Bustan of Saadi. However, as he mentions in his work titled "Chashti Mujewir," he had very little formal education. Hejar's father was an educated man who knew how to read and write in Kurdish. This is what encouraged and motivated his son (Hejar) to be able to read and write at the age of five. Later, he sent him to study at madrasas. In 1940, he began writing poetry, and the poems of Ahmad Khani, Wafayi, and Melaye Jaziri influenced his feelings. He was a Kurdish poet and translator, and the owner of a large number of valuable literary works.
In 1942, he established contact with the ranks of the Kurdistan Resurrection Association (J.K) and became a member of that association. He participated in party and organizational work and had great faith in the goals of (J.K). Because after that, he was never officially a member of any other political party or organization. Hejar met the poet Hemin in the Republic of Kurdistan and played an active role in the republic. In 1944, representing the Kurdistan Resurrection Association (J.K), he participated in the meetings of the three borders with the Hiwa Party of South Kurdistan in the Dalamper region.
In 1947, after the collapse of the Republic of Kurdistan, he reached South Kurdistan and stayed secretly for a time in the village of Sitek in Sulaymaniyah province at the home of Sheikh Latif Sheikh Mahmud. Later, he went to Baghdad, and in the autumn of 1947, he went to Lebanon to treat tuberculosis, and after recovering, he returned to Iraq. He stayed in the city of Baghdad for a while, and there, with Abdulrahman Zabih, he reached the village of Tirbe Spi in the city of Qamishlo in West Kurdistan. He stayed there at the home of Sheikh Hussein Hajo. He went to Damascus several times in secret and met with a large number of Kurdish writers, poets, and politicians such as Jalal Talabani, Osman Sabri, Nuredin Zaza, Rewshan Bedirkhan, and the Bedirkhan family. In 1953, he participated in the World Festival of Youth in the city of Bucharest, Romania. He stayed in West Kurdistan until 1958, busy with literary work and Kurdish national activities.
After the revolution of July 14, 1958, under the leadership of Abdulkarim Qasim and the return of Mulla Mustafa Barzani from the Soviet Union to the city of Baghdad, he also returned and re-established contact with Mulla Mustafa Barzani and was happy to see Barzani. With Mulla Mustafa Barzani, Hejar was a trusted and special person; for that reason, when returning from the Soviet Union, he brought him a wristwatch as a gift. Hejar did not keep that watch away from himself as long as he was alive.
In 1961, after the start of the September Revolution under the leadership of Mulla Mustafa Barzani, Hejar Mukriyani joined the revolution and remained as a person close to Barzani. After the agreement signed on March 11, 1970, between the Kurdish revolutionary leadership and the Iraqi government, Hejar Mukriyani was sent to Baghdad to organize the affairs of the Kurdish Writers Union, which had been newly established on February 10, 1970. At the first congress of that union, he was elected as the Head of the Executive Board, and at the same time, he became a member of the Kurdish Scientific Academy. In 1972, he translated the Sharafnama of Sharafkhan Bidlisi from Persian into Kurdish, and it was printed at the Kurdish Scientific Academy press.
In 1975, after the defeat of the September Revolution, his house in Baghdad was looted. Although a death sentence had been issued against him by the Iranian government, he returned to the city of Mahabad. At the request of Mulla Mustafa Barzani his death sentence was overturned, and after that, he went to the city of Karaj in Iran. He stayed there until the end of his life. In 1979, after the fall of the Shah's regime in Iran and the coming of Khomeini to power, Hejar Mukriyani devoted all his time to compiling the Kurdish Language Dictionary and to translations and research in Kurdish literature.
In 1976, when the Gulan Revolution began, Hejar Mukriyani was one of the activists who encouraged the Kurdish refugees of South Kurdistan to support the revolution. Teacher Hejar Mukriyani, in the first rank of Kurdish activists with Teacher Ali Abdullah, Secretary of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, on December 2, 1989, at the tenth congress of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, received the Barzani medal from President Masoud Barzani .
Hejar saw much bitterness and displacement in his life. On February 21, 1991, he passed away, and his body was taken to Mukriyan and buried in the Bagh-i Firdawsi cemetery in the city of Mahabad.
