In Poem 12 of Chapter 46 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs personification and striking imagery to address the morning. The morning's 'smile' (the break of dawn) and 'sword' (rays of light) are contrasted with the lover's profound sorrow. The poet warns the morning that the flood of tears pouring from his eyelashes is powerful enough to wash away the morning's brightness, emphasizing the overwhelming and overpowering nature of the lover's grief.
