In Section 47 of the Khosrow Nameh, Hosna confesses her deceitful plotting against Golrokh to King Khosrow. Farid al-Din Attar uses this moment to deliver a moral reflection on retribution, invoking the Persian proverbial warning that he who digs a pit for others will fall into it himself (گر چاهی کنی زیرش مکن تنگ). This highlights the theme of moral reciprocity, where evil actions ultimately recoil upon the wrongdoer.
