In Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 35, Poem 40), Attar explores the theme of divine coquetry and intentional concealment. The poem describes the Beloved initially offering many promises of union, only to employ trickery (حیل) by fashioning a "crooked veil" (��ردهٔ کژ) out of His tresses (زلف). This imagery symbolizes the paradoxical nature of the mystical path, where initial spiritual invitations and intimacy are often followed by deliberate divine concealment, testing the seeker and leaving them in a state of renewed longing and bewilderment.
