The Duality of the Beloved's Lips and the Subservience of the Moon in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 35, Poem 24)

In Chapter 35, Poem 24 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet highlights the dual nature of the Beloved's 'ruby lips,' which act as a calamity to both heart and faith, yet simultaneously appear as sweet as honey and as beautiful as a rose. The poem further emphasizes the supreme beauty of the Beloved by asserting that even the radiant moon of the sky falls to the earth in inadequacy when confronted with the Beloved's face.
