His creations  were inspired by the devotion of Lord Ram and Krishna .His dohas are also full of inspiration and knowledge . It shows the broadness of his mind .Even being such a scholar ,he was a very polite man.On his politeness once Tulsidasdas ji asked such a question from him :

Aisi deni den ku kit sikhe ho sain 
jyu jyu kar upar karo tyu tyu niche nai 

"Sir , where have you learnt from such a type of donation
where you keep downcasting your gaze while raising your hands to donate?"

  his reply was :

denhaar koi aur hai  bhejat hai din rain 
log bharam humpar kare taso niche nain 

"The donor is someone else who sends all this to me 
people are confused  with me (that donor to be Rahim) so my gaze is downcasted . "

A small collection of his creations  have been revealed here.
