His literary work has been appreciated and admired by Urdu writers, poets and critics, although there is also criticism of his literary work and of his personality. Some believe that Qasmi did not trust his friends, including Ataul Haq Qasmi, Amjad Islam Amjad and Parveen Shakir, because of his adopted daughter Mansoora Ahmad's dominance and insulting behaviour.
An example of Qasmi's writing style is:
A translation is:Dawar-e hashr! mujhe teri qasam
Umr bhar mein ne ibadat ki hay
Tu mera namaa-e-amal tau dekh
Mein ne insaan se mohabbat ki hay
O Lord of the Day of Judgment
I swear by you
I have worshipped all my life
Look at my balance sheet
I have loved mankind
