In Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs a vivid contrast between the morning and the night to illustrate the lover's grief. The morning is depicted as 'laughing' from the beloved's lips, representing the dawn and the beloved's joy or indifference. In contrast, the night departs 'shedding stars' from the speaker's eyes, a powerful metaphor for the lover's luminous tears over the beloved's sudden departure. This juxtaposition of the smiling dawn and the weeping night emphasizes the emotional disparity between the departing beloved and the forsaken lover.
