Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdul Baaqui Saheb (RA) Farangi Mahali maintained in Tazkaratul Karaam that:
“The Qaseeda Ghausia is an audible note of sound from which heart feals a comfort.” In this Qasida Sarkar
Ghausal Azam (R.A.) has mentioned the high and lofty ranks he is placed in and this amounts to be a
reference towards acknowledging of the bounties conferred.” On the margin of the book entitled. Fatooh-al-
Ghayab it is pointed out that whenever Hazrat Ghausus Saqlain used to recite some of the couplets of this
Qasida, he used to add at the end the following line.
“And there is no pride since it is by Allah’s grace” Maulana Sayed Bahauddin Saheb Jeelani
Thumma Al Madni has remarked in margin of the book entitled: Ghaniyatul Taalebin:”The seekers in
Tareequat who generally read this Qaseda with due consideration and contemplations they find in their
spiritual levels wonderful progress. Reading this Qaseeda at a situation of fear and harassment, one
acquires the blessing of pace of heart, whereby the clouds of fear and harassment get driven away.
