39 The Girl with Swollen Eyes A little girl had swollen eyes And she was in terrible pain She went to many doctors But it was all in vain. One day she met the Promised Messiah as And requested him to pray ‘Holiness,’ she said to him ‘I’m in pain night and day. ’ The Messiah as took pity on her When he saw her reddened face Tenderly he spoke to her And slowed down his pace. He put his finger in his mouth And rubbed it on her eyes He then prayed to his Lord To Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. After a while she felt better And the pain did really cease She lived on for many years And never again had eye disease.
