Early life and education Robayet was born on 19 August 1989 in Bogra District, Bangladesh. He studied mathematics at the University of Dhaka.
Career Robayet's first poetry collection, Ghumanto Mercury Fuley, was published by Chaitanya in 2016. He subsequently published several further collections, including Meengondher Tara and Emon Ghonghor Fashibade, both in 2018, the latter of which was reissued by Dhakaprokash in a later edition. His collection Amra Kotha Boli Kenona Nirobota Fascistder Bhasha was published at the 2025 Ekushey Book Fair.

In 2026, he wrote the lyrics for the song "Piriti", featured in the film Rockstar starring Shakib Khan.
Inclusion in school curriculum In 2025, Robayet's poem Sinthi was included in Saptaborna, a seventh-grade Bengali-language textbook, as part of a curriculum revision carried out by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board following the change of government in August 2024.
Literary themes In a 2026 interview with The Deltagram, Robayet said that he began writing poetry seriously towards the end of 2012, and that the political developments in Bangladesh during the following years naturally influenced his writing. He also said that his poetry explores the lives of ordinary people, history, identity and culture, including Muslim cultural identity in Bangladesh.
Critical reception Reviewing Robayet's 2020 collection Madhudangatire in New Age (Bangladesh), poet and academic Abdullah Al Muktadir described the book's thirty-eight untitled poems as evoking a timeless, geographically unfixed quality, and argued that despite an initially musical or seemingly conventional surface, the poems reveal philosophical depth on closer reading. The review characterised Robayet as an experimental and modern poet rather than a romantic one, and praised his use of rhyme as a distinguishing strength at a time when many contemporary poets avoid it.
