21. Muhammad the poet was skilful, though he had hut one eye, 1 
and all who heard him were entranced. Even as God created the moon 
for the universe, so He put a dark spot upon him, while He made him 
bright. With that one eye the poet saw in the world, as Venus is 
brilliant among the other stars. 3 Until there come black spots upon a 
mango-fruit, it hath no fragrant scent. God made the water of the 
ocean salt, but nevertheless He made it immeasurably boundless. Mount 
Meru was destroyed by ( Qiva’s ) trident, 8 and then it became a mountain 
of gold,* and reached to heaven. Till black firestains defile the crucible, 
(the ore) remaineth unsmelted, and becometh not pure gold. 
line) was Shaikh Euknu’d-din Abu ’1-fath Ma'sisir (fl. 1310), who was also disciplo of 
his own father Shaikh Sadru’d-din (’Arif, d. 1309). This last was disciple of his 
father Shaikh Bahau’d-din Zikariya (d. 1260) of Mul’tan, who was disciple of Shaikh 
Shahabu’d-dln ( Suharwardiya, d. 1234), who travelled from city to city as missionary 
(peace be upon him).’ 
Makhdum Jahaniyan was a disciple of Euknu’d-din abovementioned. The 
Suharwardiyas form a branch of the followers of the qiifl sect, and are named from 
Suharward, a town near* Bagdad, the birth place of the founder Shahabu’d-din above 
mentioned. 
1 This means that he was literally blind of one eye. The poet still, however 
thanks God for all His mercies, and points out that every great and good thing in 
Nature has some detraction. 
3 (Jukra, the regent of the planet Venus has only one eye. 
3 I have not traced this legend. It may be a reference to Indra’s cutting off 
the wings of the mountains. 
4 It is a golden mountain. Sec Visnu Purana II, 2.
