Nisar was also fond of reciting poetry.A few days later, he consulted with Hazrat Mehr. He got permission and caliphate and then joined the circle of students of Hazrat Akbar. The color of Sufism in Nisar's poetry was the result of the hard work of Hazrat Shah Akbar Danapuri. Nisar's position among the students of Hazrat Akbar is very high.
