In Chapter 46, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker addresses the morning (صبح) as a potential intruder. Within the Sufi literary tradition, the night represents a time of profound, private intimacy and spiritual communion between the lover and the Divine Beloved. The breaking of dawn threatens to lift the veil on this secret union. The poet warns the morning that breathing a word of this mystical secret will result in a metaphorical beheading (striking off the head like a pen), highlighting the absolute necessity of concealing profound spiritual experiences from the profane, uninitiated world.
