He received the instruction from Hazrat Ghaus-ul-Aazam R.A. in his dreams to go to India and Initiate Hazrat Shah Niyaz in Qadri order and make him his spiritual successor (Khalifa). Similarly Hazat Fakhruddin Fakhre Jahaan (R.A.) in his dream Hazrat Piran-e-Pir Ghaus-ul-Azam (R.A.) has introduced him to a certain person (closely related to him) who would be sent to initiate Hz Niyaz-be-Niyaz (R.A.)as his desciple and Hz.Fakre Paak should have him accepted by the person.

Zahay izzo jalaale Bu-Turaabe fakhre insaane,
Ali-e-Murtaza mushkil kushaaye sher-e-Yazdaane.
...
Wali-e-Haq wasi-e-Mustufa dariyaae faizaane,
Imaam-e-do-zahaane qibla-e-deene wa imaane.
...
Payambar dar sar-e-mimbar nashishto khaan Maulayash,
Ke taa Maulae ashra baashad andar qhalk-o-burhaane.
...
‘Niyaz’ andar qayamat be sar-o-saamaan khwaahi shud
Ki az hubbo tawallae Ali daari to saamaane.

अए दिल बगीर दामन-ए-सुल्तान-ए-औलिया
यानी हुसैन इब्ने अली जान-ए-औलिया

ज़ौके़ दिगर बजाम-ए-शहादत अजो़ रसीद
शौक़े दिगर बामास्ति-ए-इरफ़ान-ए-औलिया

चूँ साहिब-ए-मक़ाम-ए-नबी-ओ-अलिस्त ऊ
हम फख्र अम्बिया शुदा हम शान-ए-औलिया

आएना-ए-जमाल-ए-इलाहीस्त सूरतश
जांरो शुदस्त किबला-ए-ईमान-ए-औलिया

ताकर्द सर्फ़-ए-हक़ सर-ओ-सामान-ए-हस्तियश
गोए सबक़ रबूदा ज़मीरान-ए-औलिया

दारद 'नियाज़' हश्र ख़ुद उम्मीद बा हुसैन
बा औलियास्त हश्र मुहिब्बान-ए-औलिया


Ae dilbigeer daaman-e-sultaane-Aulia,
Yaani Hussain ibn-e-ALi jaan-e-Aulia.

zauq-e-digar bajaam-e-shahadat azo raseed,
shauq-e-digar bamasti-e-irfan-e-Aulia

Chun sahib-e-maqaam-e-Nabi-o-Alistou,
Hum fakhr-e-Ambiya shuda hum shan-e-Aulia.

Aaeena-e-jamaal-e-Ilaahist sooratash,
Zanro shudast qibla-e-imaan-e-Aulia.

Taqard sarf-e-haq sar-o-samaan-e-hastiyash,
Goye sabak rabooda zameeran-e-Aulia.

Daarad `Niyaz' hashr khud um'meed ba Hussain,
Ba Auliast hashr muhib'baan-e-Aulia.
