''Nuskha-Arshi'' is cited by Urdu scholar [[Gopi Chand Narang]] as the most comprehensive early attempt to publish Ghalib's ghazals in a chronological fashion, allowing for a study of the evolution in the poet's themes and techniques, though there were mistakes in the chronology. According to Narang, Arshi's ''Diwan'' was the main source for the study of Ghalib's work until a more complete and chronologically correct ''Diwan'-e-Raza'' was published by [[Kalidas Gupta Riza]] in 1995.<ref>{{cite book|title=Ghalib: Innovative Meanings and the Ingenious Mind|author=Gopi Chand Narang|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2017|isbn=9780199091515|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6b89DwAAQBAJ&q=Arshi}}</ref><br />
