In Chapter 35, Poem 23 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet illustrates the unmatched beauty of the beloved through two classical Persian motifs. The 'narcissus' (نرگس), traditionally symbolizing the languid or intoxicating eye, is depicted as awestruck and humbled before the beloved's grace. Furthermore, the poet references the 'picture-gallery of China' (نگارخانهٔ چین)—a classic metaphor for the absolute pinnacle of artistic perfection in Persian literature, historically associated with Mani—to assert that no human artistry or earthly perfection could ever capture the beloved's true form.
