In Jami's Haft Awrang, Section 116 uses the story of the bald lover knocking at the door of his beloved to convey a profound Sufi allegory of spiritual union:

• The Barrier of Hair (Moo): In Sufi poetic lexicon, hair represents the multiplicity of the phenomenal world, worldly attachments, or the lingering traces of the lover's own ego. The beloved's chamber is so intimate that 'not even a hair can fit,' signifying that any form of duality or self-regard prevents divine union.
• The Bald Lover (Kalk): The lover's baldness symbolizes the state of Fana (ego-annihilation) and absolute selflessness. Having no hair, he represents a seeker who has completely shed his ego and individual identity.
• Overcoming Excuses: By declaring himself bald and devoid of hair, the lover demonstrates that he presents no obstacle to union, as there is no remaining self to disrupt the perfect singularity of the divine presence.
