In Poem 112 of Chapter 47 in the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur utilizes the candle metaphor to illustrate focused, vertical spiritual aspiration and solitary devotion. The candle is depicted as a solitary steeped entity enduring nocturnal burning, representing the mystic's isolation in their love. By contrasting the vertical rising of the flame with a broad, horizontal spread, Attar emphasizes that spiritual fire must ascend upwards toward the Divine rather than dissipating or spreading destructively across the material plane.
