In this Mi'raj (ascension) section opening Jami's Leyli o Majnun, the poet devotes the passage to an extended portrait of the Buraq, the Prophet's celestial mount. Jami calls it the grey night-traveler (اشهب شبرو) woven of light and freed from the darkness of bodily matter, swifter than the sun's steed and the sphere's own courser. Its hoof is set above the crescent moon and the nails of the stars; the green of heaven is its pasture, it drinks from the fountain of Salsabil, and it outraces the wing of Gabriel. The passage frames the Buraq as the very pedestal that lifts the discourse of praise through the first of the many degrees of the Prophet's ascending rank, showing how Jami turns the celestial steed into an emblem of poetic and spiritual elevation.
