Tafseer Zia-ul-Quran is an unparalleled masterpiece of Urdu literature. With his unique style of writing, he has also created high quality prose. He has taken poems from Urdu, Arabic and Persian languages, but also shows his proficiency in these languages. His deep eye on literature also comes to know; especially the frequency which he has used in the poems of Allama Iqbal also shows his mental harmony with Iqbal. He belongs to the class of Sufism, in which he translated the poems of Saadi Shirazi and Maulana Rome in his commentary. He also penned the poems of Allama Iqbal for understanding and interpretation of Persian words. His commentary has been written in pain and love of Mustafa and it will be a matter of wisdom behind all the Persian poems that he has written, and show love and affection for Mustafa (peace be upon him).
