He abandoned his studies at Al-Azhar for the love of the gypsy Shepherdess Marwana. His grandfather disapproved of a marriage to Marwana and banished his grandson from his palace. Marwana asked Gaafar to have self-confidence in seeking sustenance. Gaafar worked with his friend the musician Shaykhan. This led to a separation from Marwana and he married a wealthy aristocratic lady named Sayed Hoda. He became dependent on her. Hoda urged him to find suitable respectable work. He decided to study law and the legal proession but he also failed in this work. He tried to imitate some of the great men of ideas but could not keep up with them because of psychological and mental hunger.

One of his friends became furious with him because of the ideas and theories in his book, and he killed him. He went to prison for the rest of his life on the charge of murder. He came out of prison in a state of absolute madness and walked deliriously through the streets of modern Cairo muttering unintelligibly.
