I'd suggest creating an alias by

alias geany=/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany

and placing the above line to your .zprofile (and restarting your terminal).

Well, it seems that Geany cannot write to

/Users/baheyshalash/.config/geany

directory. I'd suggest checking if any of the directories

/Users/baheyshalash
/Users/baheyshalash/.config
/Users/baheyshalash/.config/geany

are writeable by you e.g. by using touch foo and checking if the file foo gets created or by looking at the permissions by running ls -la.
