Sabih rehmani is one of those fortunate persons who have been blessed with this circumstance in the matter of saying Naat. He gets the subjects for this Naat from the love of Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wa aalihi wasallam) and expresses them with budding words, attracting isti'araat and tashbihaat. For this reason, his Naats are full of effectiveness. Another thing that makes him distinct from others in the matter of Naat-saying is the respect of Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wa aalihi wasallam) and awareness of the place of Messenger-ship. He knows the manner to remain vigilantly respectful in the Court of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wa aalihi wasallam). He is fully to express it. His Naat are free from both extremes. It is certain that this skill of Naat-saying will elevate him to high rank of Naat-saying and in this way he will be successful in both the worlds. I wish his Naat may remain full with this enlightenment warmth (zoq) and effectiveness(ta'theer).

In the Naat poetry of Sabih Rehmani, there is growing with extreme love and attachment an expression of the love of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wa aalihi wasallam). The balanced color and sequence of reliability of thought and standard of art is existing in his accent and style is a bright sign of the right direction of his journey in the field of poetical literature which demands very high toll and struggle. The soft manner in which he is advancing onward shows that the sphere of his popularity and fame is rather vaster and this excellence is not achieved by the way but comes only on the grant of the Supreme Grantor (Allah Almighty). The glittering and shining of faith and ecstasy in his Naat verses has become the focus of people of taste. Along with it the simplicity and civility of poetic rhythm and melody attracts the hearts. Sabih Rehmani is highly appreciated for his verse and its presentation in the Naat assemblies. For Naat, the selection of such ground which is often proper and relevant to Naat is very clear proof of his manner of thought and excellent temperament. Liking for such a speech is not confined to the taste of hearing.

Windows of bliss may open in any mind and any heart. There is no condition or restriction for it. Only a signal of "that side" is sufficient. This is an ecstatic work of a young poet who is uttering words much ahead of his age. Generally, the Naat has been composed in the form of Ghazal as it is the easiest form of expression. Sabib Rehmani has also composed most of his effective naat in this very formation but now the second collection of his Naat composition contains a sufficient number of hamdiya and naatiya poems. These poems are in all formation, i.e restricted, free and in hico. This makes two things fully apparent. One is that he is fully trying to prove and make feel his poetical entity. The second is that he is entering into a new atmosphere of the valley of the verse after having crossed the frontier of the traditional Naat. Thus he has covered both the directions. On the one side, he is fulfilling the internal and external requirements of poetry and on the other side, he is passing through the religious trials and spiritual delicacies with confidence which in so youngan age is hill-task. I am glad that the poetry of Sabih Rehmani.
