In Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, poem 37 employs the metaphor of the morning breeze (saba) filling the rose's mouth with gold. This poetic imagery serves a dual purpose: it evokes the traditional cultural practice of filling a poet's or a favored speaker's mouth with gold coins as a reward for a beautiful display (referred to as the rose's 'exceedingly beautiful smile'), and it visually represents the yellow stamens of the flower that are revealed when the closed bud is finally opened by the breeze.
