Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has also expressed his Divine love through mystic poetry. Given below is his poetry as well as quatrains.
نت سے اعلیٰ اور ہر لمحہ انوار کی برسات ہے حضورؐ کی قبرِ انور پر
رحمت کا نزول اور ملائکہ کا درود و سلام ہے حضورؐ کی قبرِ انور پر
نجیبؔ جیسا عاصی و خطا کار نہیں ہے حضورؐ اس زمانے میں
بس ہے یہ التجا کہ سر رکھوں قدموں میں اور جاں نکلے حضورؐ کی قبرِ انور پر
Explanation: The light of Allah is continuously showering at the sacred shrine of our beloved Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Indeed, his tomb is superior to that of paradise. As, the benevolence of Allah descends upon it every moment and the angels present salutations. O my beloved Prophet, I admit that I am the most sinful and guilty person on the earth. Yet I dare to request you to let me die in your feet at your sacred tomb.
اسمِ اَللّٰہُ ذات ہی دیتا ہے انسان کو اصل حیات
اسی سے سینہ ہستی سے خواہشاتِ غیراَللّٰہ کی ممات
اپنے رُخ سے اٹھاتا ہے یہ حجاب اس وقت
عطا کرے جب اِسے صاحبِ مسمّٰی اسمِ ذات
Explanation: Certainly, the invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat grants eternal life to a person. Moreover, it exterminates all the desires that are other than Allah from his inward. However, it is effective only if granted by the perfect spiritual guide who is the man of Divine Essence. Otherwise, neither its reality is revealed, nor one is blessed with its miraculous effects.
انسان کو اپنی پہچان سے ملتی ہے خدا کی پہچان
اسمِ اَللّٰہُ دیتا ہے انسان کو اپنی پہچان
جس نے نہ پہچانا اپنی ذات کو اسمِ اَللّٰہُ ذات سے
ناکامی و نامرادی اور سیاہ بختی ہے اس کی پہچان
Explanation: A person recognizes Allah by recognizing his inner being. In other words, one realizes his inward only through the invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Contrarily, one who does not recognize himself through Ism-e-Allah Zaat, eternal failure, disappointment and misfortune are his destiny. Thus, whoever fails to find his own reality, can never be blessed with the recognition and closeness of Allah.
Quatrain about Searching his Spiritual Guide
بستی بستی ڈھونڈا، نگر نگر تلاش کیا
دلبر نہ ملا کہیں، سفر دور دراز کیا
جب کریم نے کیا فیصلہ محرمِ دِل بنانے کا
تو صاحب نے خود اپنے دیوانے کو تلاش کیا
Explanation: I wandered in every town and city and traveled to far off places but could not find my Beloved. On the other hand, when the Divine Essence decided to bless my humble self then He Himself called me. Thus, He blessed with His closeness and union and made me His confidant and beloved. In fact, He Himself called me towards His court, thus helped me reach my spiritual guide.
عشق کی ابتدا ہے دیدار و صحبت یار کی
عشق کا حاصل ہے محبت یار کی
عشق کی حقیقت، عشق ہے بس عشق
عشق کی انتہا ہے ذات یار کی
Explanation: To tell the truth, the beginning of Divine love (ishq) is the vision and company of the Divine Beloved. Consequently, the reward of Divine love is the love returned by the Beloved. The reality of Divine love cannot be explained in words, in fact, it is just ‘The Divine love’. Furthermore, the extreme and ultimate level of Divine love is to annihilate oneself and eventually become One with the Beloved.
Quatrain on Annihilation in Murshid
میرے جسم کے لُوں لُوں میں سما گیا یار میرا
میں کھو گیا اور آگیا یار میرا
میں ظاہر میں تلاش کرتا رہا جسے
میرا قالب ہی بن گیا یار میرا
Explanation: Each and every cell of my body is obsessed with the love of my Beloved. Said another way I annihilated and lost myself in Him, so now my existence is actually His. There was a time when I wandered everywhere in His search. However, now He has become my own physical as well as spiritual being
نجیبؔ نہ رہا باقی، یار کی ذات میں فنا ہو گیا
اپنے غیر سمجھ نہ سکے، کہتے ہیں کہ کیا سے کیا ہو گیا
سنو! نجیب تو کب کا مر چکا اے دوستو
یار سے جب یار مِلا، میں میں نہ رہا وہ ہو گیا
Explanation: Najib has annihilated in his Beloved and thus, lost his own self. However, people could not understand what happened to him and how he has totally changed. Listen friends! In fact, Najib does not exist anymore. When I became spiritually one with my Beloved, then my being became His reflection.
Quatrain Said on visiting the Shrine of his Murshid
After Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali’s death, when Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen visited his shrine first time, there he uttered following words;
جھکا جب مزارِ یار پر، اَنْتَ اَنَا وَاَ نَا اَنْتَ کی آئی صدا
کی عرض کہ اس قابل نہیں ہوں، فرمایا یہی تو ہے ہماری عطا
دیکھ ذرا قلب کے اندر کہ یہ تو ہے کہ میں
دنیا اور وجود اپنا چھوڑ کر میں قالب تیرے میں آبسا
Explanation: I bowed at the shrine of my beloved spiritual guide. Then I heard him saying; “I am you and you are me”. Consequently, I humbly replied that I do not deserve such an honour. Then he said, “This is my blessing upon you. Look within yourself, is it you or me? I left the world and the cover of my body and now I live within you.”

سلطان محمد اصغر علی مظہر ذاتِ رَبَّانی
6. وہ محفلِ عشاق میں آپؒ کا دبے پاؤں آنا
عاشقوں سے نگاہیں ملا کے وہ نگاہوں کا جھکانا
ہلکے سے تبسم سے وہ دِلوں کا گرمانا
دید میں تڑپتی روحوں کو اک نظر سے دیوانہ بنانا
نجیبؔ ہوا انہی اداؤں سے گھائل، دلبرجانی
سلطان محمد اصغر علیؒ مظہر ذاتِ رَبَّانی
7. اسمِ اَللّٰہُ ذات ہے پیغام سلطان الفقر کا
بھول نہ جانا یہ کام سلطان الفقر کا
زمانے کو بتلانا ہے ابھی مقام سلطان الفقر کا
دنیا میں پھیلانا ہے ابھی نام سلطان الفقر کا
نجیبؔ کو ہے یہ خاص وصیت اے نوعِ انسانی
سلطان محمد اصغر علیؒ مظہر ذاتِ رَبَّانی

جس کی نگاہ سے ہوئے منور قلوب، اس سلطان الفقر کو سلام
جس کے نور سے ناقصوں کو کمال ملا، اس انسانِ کامل کو سلام
جس نے عشق کی مے کو عام کر دیا، اس ساقیٔ زمانہ کو سلام
جسم میں روح جس سے زندہ ہوئی اس طبیبِ باکمال کو سلام
رازِ حقیقت سے آگاہ جس نے کیا، اس بحرِ حقیقت کو سلام
جس نے اس خادم کو محرم راز بنایا اُس صاحبِ مسمّٰی اسمِ ذات کی عنایت کو سلام
نور کی حقیقت جہاں سے ملی للّٰہ کی نشانی والے اس ہادی اکمل کو سلام
سلطان عزیزؒ کے محبوب، روحِ باھوؒ اور شاہِ جیلانیؓ کے مطلوب کو سلام
عطا کیا سرِّھُو جس نے نجیبؔ جیسے بے مایہ و بے نشاں کو اُس امامِ سخاوت کو سلام
