Jaada E Nijaat

Jaada-e-Nijaat is my first-ever published collection of religious poetry a humble offering from the depths of my devotion and love for the Divine. The title of this book was graciously suggested by the esteemed Sajjada Nasheen of Budayun Shareef Hazrat Allama Maulana Abdul Ghani Muhammad Ateef Miyan (Damat Barakatuhum Qudsiyah) whose blessings and guidance I deeply cherish. This book is divided into two heartfelt sections: The first part titled Khayaban-e-Naat is devoted to praises of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) — the mercy to all worlds. The second part titled Rang-e-Manqabat contains poetic tributes to his noble Companions Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam (Rahmatullah Alaih) and other revered saints and pious personalities of Islam. With utmost sincerity I pray that these verses are accepted in the Divine Court of Almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and that this humble effort becomes a means of salvation and a path to Jannah for me. I Ghulam Mustafa Rabbani—known in the literary world by my pen name Khaki Budayuni—am currently residing in Mumbai with my family. Originally hailing from the spiritually enriched city of Madina-tul-Aulia Budayun Shareef Uttar Pradesh (India) I was brought to Mumbai as a young child by my parents. Parallel to my interest in sports my inclination toward poetry emerged during my school years. Encouraged by my elders I began compiling verses—both classical and contemporary—in my diary. This early exposure nurtured my creative spirit and I gradually began composing Urdu ghazals of my own. My poetic journey eventually led me towards religious and spiritual poetry. A milestone in this journey came when my Peer-o-Murshid Huzoor Tajdar-e-Ahle Sunnat Abdul Hameed Muhammad Salim Qadri Quds Sirrahu honored me with the title of Shaa’ir-e-Aastana—the official poet of the royal court of Ghaus-e-Azam (R.A.).
