In Chapter 40, Poem 16 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the imagery of a smiling flower and the rising morning to symbolize the sudden, joyous arrival of divine grace or the Beloved's favor. After enduring long periods of spiritual suffering and yearning ('wallowing in blood a thousand dawns'), the speaker pleads for a single breath of this radiant, transformative smile. This contrast highlights the transition from the darkness of spiritual trial to the light of divine intimacy.
