Some narrations say Lady Ayishah Siddiqah passed away on 17 Ramadan. How exquisitely does #Alahazrat write four couplets in her praise:

---
Bint e Siddiq ārām e jān e Nabiy
Us harīm e barā'at pe lakhon salam

Daughter of the truthful, solace to the life of the Prophet;
Endless salutations upon that exonerated wife

---
Yáni hai sūrah e nūr jin ki gawāh
Un ki pur nūr sūrat pe lakhon salam

That is, the one whose proof is the chapter of light;
Endless salutations upon her radiant being

Note: wordplay of sūrah e nūr (chapter 24 of the Quran) and pur nūr sūrat. The Arabic word, Sūrah is with a س and the Urdu word for being/countenance, sūrat is with a ص.

---
Jin meiń rūhu'l qudus bey ijāzat nah jāyeń
Un suradiq ki ísmat pe lakhon salam

In which the angel Jibril won't enter without permission;
Endless salutations upon that purified dwelling

The grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was dug in the quarters of Sayyidah Ayishah رضي الله عنها which even the archangel Jibril wouldn't enter without permission.

---
Sham'é tāban e kāshānah e ijtihād
Mufti e chār millat pe lakhon salam

The illuminated torch, abode of legal derivation;
Endless salutations upon the mufti of the four eras

Sayyidah Ayishah was a mujtahidah and issued rulings in the period of all four caliphs.
