Crying of the Pillar of Hannaanah [The Crying One in Love]

Usstun-e-Hannaanah Az Hijr-e-Rasool

Naalah Mee Zad Hamchuu Arbaab-e-Uquul

(Masnavee Ruumi)

Sutoon-e-Hannaanah in separation from the Prophet

Cried intensely like the sensible people cry

The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) came down from the pulpit and embraced it to his chest, thus it got comforted and it became quiet. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, Allaah’s oath, if I would have not embraced it to my chest then it would have kept crying until the Day of Resurrection. Then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had it cut and buried it under the sacred pulpit.
