In Chapter 47, Poem 110 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the candle is addressed as a world-illuminating entity whose radiant light continuously consumes moths. Attar employs the term 'garm-damaghi' (passion, hot-headedness, or intense zeal) to characterize the candle's prideful and consuming flame. This metaphor highlights the dual nature of the beloved's intense radiance: while it illuminates the world, its overwhelming warmth and arrogance inevitably draw seekers into destructive self-consumption.
