In Poem 26 of Chapter 46 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet juxtaposes the sorrowful atmosphere of the night with the impending arrival of dawn. The lover's state is mirrored by the profusely 'weeping' candle, a metaphor for melting sorrow and the exhaustion of the night. The speaker directly addresses the morning, imploring it to close its lips and refrain from 'laughing' (a traditional Persian literary metaphor for the bright breaking of dawn or sunrise). This personification emphasizes the lover's desire to halt time and prolong the night, portraying the cheerful dawn as unsympathetic to the pain shared between the lover and the beloved.
