In Chapter 46, Poem 28 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the recurring literary motifs of the weeping candle and the mocking morning. The speaker likens their continuous, agonizing nightly weeping to a burning candle. In this state of suffering, the arrival of morning is not perceived as a relief, but rather as a cruel mockery. The dawn's breaking light is personified as a sneer or a derisive smile that fails to cure the lover's affliction, serving only to taunt their pain. This juxtaposition highlights the profound despair of the lover, for whom even the break of day brings no solace.
