In Chapter 46, Poem 40 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet utilizes striking hyperbole to express an intense desire to prolong the fleeting night of union (shab-e wasl) with the beloved. Fearing the arrival of dawn, which would bring an end to this spiritual ecstasy, the speaker envisions using their own eyelashes as needles to sew the current night directly to the dawn of the Day of Resurrection (Qiyamat). This powerful metaphor illustrates the transcendent nature of spiritual union, where the lover seeks to transform a temporary moment into a timeless eternity, entirely erasing the natural progression of earthly time.
