In this poem from Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the beloved's mouth is metaphorically compared to a 'pistachio' (پسته). The poet plays on the concept of 'saltiness' (شور), which in Persian literary tradition denotes charm and allure, while also meaning 'tumult' or 'commotion'. The poem advises that the beloved's mouth is better kept closed (در بسته), suggesting that maintaining a mysterious silence or a subtle smile preserves this captivating charm and prevents the stirring of overwhelming tumult among lovers.
