In the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai contrasts cowardice and courage through psychological and symbolic lenses. Cowardice is depicted as an existential hell of constant anxiety, illustrated by a deer unable to gain nourishment due to fear. In contrast, courage is symbolized by Imam Ali's backless armor, representing absolute commitment to facing challenges. While the coward's unstable mind is compared to shifting water, the brave person's resolve is compared to a steadfast mountain.
