In Chapter 36, Poem 10 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs a dual metaphor of the bow: first, the beloved's eyebrow is depicted as a bow drawn to shoot arrows at the lover's soul; second, the lover's own posture is described as having 'become bent like a bow' due to intense suffering and passion. This interplay contrasts the active, aggressive bow of beauty with the passive, physical bending of the submissive lover, capturing a classic trope in Persian love poetry.
