Career
According to the Khowar researcher Rehmat Aziz Chitrali he was one of the greatest Khowar poets of this era, especially in the use of "ista"aaray" and "chhotee beher". He did some Khowar literary work with Anjuman-e-Tarraqui-e-Khowar, Chitral, for magazine collections in 1990. Muhammad Changiz Khan Tarriqui started his poetic life in 1965 by following the style of Iqbal and wrote dozens of Khowar romantic poems.
Later he began writing Khowar ghazals and Sufiana Kalaam under the guidance of Doctor Inayatullah Faizi.
He was a great admirer of Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, Muhammad Naji Khan Naji, Zakir Muhammad Zakhmi, Afzalullah Afzal, Mirza Muhammad Siyaar, Baba Ayub, Amir Khan Mir, Amir Gul and Javed Hayat and probably the melancholy and "Ehsaas-e-Mehroomi" in his poetry was a direct result of that. He also translated Khowar poets into Urdu
Tariqui, few days before his death, said in a press interview by Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, that "hunting, writing in Khowar and Urdu language and visiting mountains et cetera were my favourite.
All my hobbies are related with fine arts, poetry, hunting, love of birds, love of trees et cetera." He died in Chitral on 8 March 2012 due to a heart attack.
