In this section of Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the poet narrates a counsel by the Sasanian ruler Nushirvan regarding secrecy. Nushirvan advises that secrets should not be shared even with close friends, since any exposure can lead to enemies discovering them. The text uses the metaphor of the red tongue causing the ruin of one's safety, emphasizing that silence and self-control are essential to preserving one's well-being in the world.
