He was buried in the neighbourhood of shrine of Sultan of Saints Hazrat Nizam-ud-din Owliya (R.A(.The published collected works of Nasir Ali consist of amatory verses, odes and quatrains. He also wrote verses comprising couplets. Some letters are also found of his prose artifacts. Nasir Ali flourished his poetry with the attributes of Subk-e-Hindi. e.g. subject applause, thoughtful, careful thinking and philosophical essays. He settled humanity, mysteries of Sufism, freedom of thought, philosophical point of view and the customs of this age especially anxiety as basic subject of his poetry. He also used terminology and proverbs for their description. This is why the critics of verse considered his poetry worthy for criticism. The great number of contemporaries of his era and the narrators after that era, appreciated and admired his verse. This article is written about the opinions of the narraters and the critics of the verse regarding the verse of Nasir Ali Sirhindi.
