He wrote in Risala Salar Jung later translated as Muraqqa-i-Dehli, "When he begins to play the Been, when the notes of the Been throw a spell on the world, the party enters a strange state: people begin to flutter like fish out of water (...).Na’mat Khan is acquainted with all aspects of music.Naimat Khan is considered unequalled and is the pride of the people of Delhi."
In his work Risala Salar Jung later named Muraqqa-i-Dehli, he described: "When Na’mat Khan starts playing the Been, its notes have a magical effect on the world; people appear disoriented, like fish out of water. Na’mat Khan is proficient in all musical aspects and is highly esteemed by Delhi's inhabitants."
