Meaning, the illuminating finger of the Beloved Prophet’s صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم blessed hand once shone and manifested itself on the moon, and even till today, the chest of the moon still possesses the burn mark.

   ۔2In another poem, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه is seen to be informing the moon about the method of removing its blemishes. Thus, in Qasidah-e-Mi’rajiyyah, heرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه  states:

Sitam kya kaysi mat kati thi qamar! Woh khaak un kay rah guzar ki
Utha na laaya kay maltay maltay yeh daagh sab daykhta mittay thay

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish, p. 232)

i.e., O moon! What is the matter with your intellect that you have committed such a grave injustice! When the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم traversed the skies on the Night of Mi’raaj, you should have taken the dust from path he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم travelled on and rubbed it on your blemishes. If you had rubbed that dust on your blemishes, all of them would have vanished.

   ۔3In another place, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه refers to the moon as the childhood toy of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; which is an indication to the following Hadees: Sayyiduna Abbas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ states: ‘I once said, ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! The signs of your prophethood called me towards Islam. I saw that you would converse with the moon in the cot, and wherever you would move your finger, the moon would move in that direction.’’ (Jam’-ul-Jawami’, vol. 3, p. 212, Hadees 8361)

Chand jhuk jata jidher ungli uthatay mahd mayn
Kya hi chalta tha isharon par khilona noor ka

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish, p. 249)

   ۔4At another place, he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states:

Mah-e-Madinah apni tajalli ‘ata karay!
Yeh dhalti chandni to pahar do pahar ki hay

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish, p. 202)
