In Chapter 35, Poem 7 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the contrasting Sufi symbols of the Beloved's tress (zulf) and face (ruy). The tress signifies multiplicity, concealment, and the trials of love, acting as 'snares of tyranny' that plunge the lover's soul into sorrow. Conversely, the ray of the Beloved's face represents the overwhelming manifestation (tajalli) of Divine Reality. The poem illustrates the ultimate goal of annihilation (fana) by declaring that whenever this supreme, unifying divine light shines upon the 'veil' of creation, it instantly destroys all illusory, contingent existence.
