Question:
Assalam u alayekum to all specially syedi sheikh hisham1
Recently i read a post here in which the author had given a link to qasida e ghousia.when i accessed that link
http://www.eladrees.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3926
the qasida present there looked new to me.i have read from multiple sources that original qasida e ghousia is that begins with ‘saqaani’l hubbu kaasati’l visaali…..faqultu li khamrati nahvi taa’li‘ and ends on ‘wa abdul qadiri mash’huru ismi……wa jaddi saahibu ayeni’l kamaali’
So i am confused that which one is actual qasida e ghousia?
Shukran.
Answer:
You may be right, what you quoted is also from the Diwan (collection of poetry) attributed to Sayyiduna Shaykh `Abd al-Qadir Gilani and is found here: http://www.forums.b-99.com/t83110.html . In fact, since he is known as the Ghawth, whatever poem is attributed to him can be called a qasida ghawthiyya. Allah knows best.
