Feroz, whose name was Qutbuddin Qadri, composed a mathnavi of approximately 121 couplets in praise of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani in 16th-century Bidar. The title of this mathnavi is disputed. While it is commonly referred to as Parat Naama, Dr. Zore has named it Tauseef Naama Meeraan Muhiuddin, Naseeruddin Hashmi has referred to it as Tauseef Naama, and Prof. Sarwari has used the title Parat Naama Muhiuddin. A manuscript copy preserved at the Idara-e-Adabiyat-e-Urdu carries the title Sifat Naama Muhiuddin, a title preferred by Dr. Shareef. Dr. Nazeer also wrote a paper on this mathnavi in 1957. This mathnavi was compiled by Dr. Masud Husain Khan and published in 1965 in Osmania University’s “Qadeem Urdu“.
A few of his Ghazals were also later discovered and published by Dr. Jameel Jalibi in the preface of Diwaan e Hasan Shawqi (1961), and Dr. Jamaal Shareef in Sabras (March, 1968).

Feroz was a mureed in the Qadiriyya Sufi silsila of Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim Mashoor Makhdoom, the son of Shaykh Muhammad Multani—a family held in high esteem by the Qutb Shahi royals. He was from the time of Ibrahim Qutb Shah (1550–1568). According to Tazkirah-e-Awliya-e-Dakan, the Sultan expressed a desire to meet Feroz, but the poet declined any interaction with figures of political power.

He was regarded among the astezah of the poets of his time. This is evident from the mention of Feroz with admiration by Wajhi in Qutb Mushtari (1609) and by Ibn-e-Nishati in Phulban (1665). Wajhi is said to have been a tutee of Feroz, though this claim has been disputed by scholars.
