In Poem 19 of Chapter 46 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet personifies the morning (صبح), asking it to 'smile'—a metaphor for the break of dawn—to deliver him from the dark night. The imagery further connects the morning to the sun, describing the morning as holding the sun's 'fire' in its heart. Consequently, the morning's 'breath catching fire' serves as a poetic explanation for the illuminating, spreading light of dawn that burns away the night's darkness.
