His writing contributed in numerous newspaper articles including al-Bayān (in Arabic البيان) for Buṭrus al-Bustānī, as well as al-Nidā’ (in Arabic النداء)for Kazem al Soleh. Tawfiq even wrote short stories that were inspired by the streets he lived in. It was only later in his life when Tawfiq began writing political articles instead of creative works and poems.
