I once posted on Umm-e-Mabads description of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).

The portrayal is
beautiful because of its use of metaphors. Yet it falls short of the mark precisely because of its use of
metaphor. Syedna Pir Mehr Ali Shah (may God be pleased with him) was once blessed with a vision of the
Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). He described the vision in a short, succinct Punjabi verse that said it all:
Koiy misl nahin dholan dee
Chup kar Mehr-e-Ali
Ethay jaa nahin bolan dee
Translation:
There is no metaphor for the Beloved
Be silent, O Mehr-e-Ali
This is no place for making similes!
