It is in the context of this very beauty that someone has written this eulogy about Sayyed ‘Abdul-Q a dir J i l a n i , 1 ٭ may Allah be pleased with him, describing him as extremely beautiful and handsome. These verses are as follows: ِ مجع وچن ز ِ ےئم ِ قشع رطب ركد ک �ُر ت � آن وكہف و دغباد و بلح ركد ےئی اغرت رگ That foreign sage when he became inebriated with the wine of love, He stole the hearts of K u f a , Baghdad, and H alab. ِنسُح ہتفگش ُےخ وبد دصب دص الہل ر انزان ہمہ را ز�ِی� ر دقم ركد بجع ركد There were hundreds of faces as beautiful as flowers, He surpassed them all — such wonders did he work!
