In Praise of Hazrat Ghaus-ul-Azam 

(may Allah be pleased with him)

By Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadiri

Abdul Qadir is a man of Allah but a powerful man,

Who observes life, and knows the invincible plan.

 

Abdul Qadir is an Islamic Jurist and a Judge,

who is also a scholar of mystic knowledge.

 

Abdul Qadir is a symbol of virtue and administration,

who is also a bright sun of Gnostic illumination.

 

Abdul Qadir in the field of learning is an authority,

Who is also the center of the circle of divine mystery.

 

Abdul Qadir is a pearl, radiating Allah`s light,

who is also in logic exceptionally bright.

 

Abdul Qadirs verdicts explain The Prophets tradition,

Who also clarifies what is allowed or forbidden.

 

Abdul Qadir is an independent administrator,

who is also a wise and effective ruler.

 

Abdul Qadir is, O Raza, a loving songster,

Who always sings praises of Allah’s messenger.
