شاہ نیازیؒ عالم و صوفی قادر الکلام شاعر تھے، نیز بے مثل ادیب بھی۔ ان کی متعدد تصانیف اور نظم میں ایک دیوان ہے ۔ آپ کی نثری تصانیف فارسی میں ہیں۔منظوم کلام میں بھی فارسی کا حصہ زیادہ ہے ۔یہ کتاب ان کے فارسی دیوان کا ترجمہ ہے۔ ترجمہ آسان اور بامحورہ کرنے کی کوشش کی گئی ہے۔ کہیں کہیں پر بریکٹ کے اندر مترجم نے مزید تشریح کے لئے کچھ لکھ دیا ہے اور جا بجا حواشی دیئے گئے ہیں۔ کتاب حمد باری ، نعت رسول ، فضائل صحابہ اور غزلوں پر مشتمل ہے۔آخر میں "مستزاد" کے عنوان سے تخلیق باری کی بہترین مثال پیش کی گئی ہے۔ یہ کتاب ایمانی نورانیت میں اضافہ کے لئے شاندار ہے۔

Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi was born in Punjab’s Sirhind (Patiala) and went to Delhi for education. In Delhi, he acquired exoteric and esoteric insight from his master Fakhruddin Dehlavi. Aged just 17, he was thoroughly acquainted with Tafsir, Hadis, Usul, Maaqulat, and Manqulat, eventually swearing allegiance to his master Fakhruddin Dehlavi’s tutelage. Soon he became a caliph to his master and began acquiring rectitude and guidance. Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi was one of the prominent caliphs of his master and took up residence in Bareilly on the advice of him only. Bareilly was his reference point among all. He was well-known in India, and abroad in Afghanistan, Samarqand, Shiraz, Badakhshan, and Arab countries his devoted followers and caliphs were present in large numbers. He died in Bareilly at the age of 77. In "Tarikh-e-Mashaikh-e-Chisht", Professor Khaliq Ahmad Nizami has mentioned a total of 9 of his Urdu, Persian, and Arabic texts, including a journal. The ‘Diwan-e-Niyaz’ is one of the more important books attributed to him.
