In Chapter 46, Poem 8 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet advocates for silence (خموشی) and solitude (تنهایی) as the only reliable companions, contrasting them with the superficiality of common, easily found companionship. Using the metaphor of the dawn (صبح), which 'breathes' (breaks) and thus brings itself out of pure darkness and seclusion, Attar warns that the very act of breaking silence (breathing a word) leads to disgrace (رسوایی). This emphasizes the Sufi thematic necessity of maintaining strict inner silence and detachment from worldly interaction.
