Once the veil of
your eyes has
been removed
that shielded
curtain no
longer looms
just remember
one thing
know for sure
Allah bestowed
upon this sinner
For me to adore
The eyes will
begin to witness
the beauty with
blessings from
Allah and
His decree
these sinning
eyes will start
to see the immense
beauty of our
Beloved Nabi,
visions will be
present to thee
once the veil of
your eyes has
been removed
that shielded
curtain no
longer looms
with blessings
from Allah
and His decree
these sinning
eyes will
start to see.
{And when you recite the Qur’an, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition. And We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’an, they turn back in aversion.}
The Qur’an, Surah Al-’Israa’ (the night journey) 17:45–46
