Surmageeñ Aañkhayñ Hareem-e-Haqq Kay Woh Mushkeeñ Ghazaal

Hai Fizaa-e-Laa Makaañ Tak Jin Kaa Ramnaa Noor Kaa

(A’laa Hazrat)

Those divinely collyrium eyes, musky deer of the Heavenly safe sanctuary

Whose luminous resplendent chase is until the space Beyond the Bode [Laa Makaan]

Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with him) says:

“Before sleeping the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) would put three strokes of surmah Ismad in each eye.”

(Jam’ul Wasaa’il, vol-1, pg. 104)
