In Poem 65 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the metaphor of stars during the daytime to illustrate the state of souls in the presence of the Divine. Just as stars are rendered invisible by the overwhelming brilliance of the sun, human souls lose their sense of separate existence when immersed in yearning for God, described as the eternal Sun. This illustrates the Sufi concept of fana (self-annihilation), where the individual ego is eclipsed by the supreme majesty of the Divine presence.
