In Chapter 46, Poem 39 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, morning (Dawn/Subh) is personified as a cosmic entity capable of profound sympathy. The poet asserts that if the morning were to witness the true magnitude of the speaker's spiritual or romantic predicament, it would retreat back into its own veil rather than rising to 'tear the veil' (expose the secrets and private suffering) of the speaker.

This hyperbole serves to emphasize the incomparable depth of the lover's pain. It suggests a suffering so harrowing that it would compel the natural order—the breaking of dawn and the breathing of the morning breeze—to halt out of sheer compassion, remaining in silent concealment until the Day of Judgment.
