In Poem 28, Chapter 35 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker describes a paradoxical state of fear regarding the beloved. The lover is terrified by both the darkness of the beloved's 'black tresses' (likened to a concealed ambush) and the sudden, overwhelming brightness of their 'moon-like face' at night. This duality illustrates the awe-inspiring nature of the beloved's beauty, where both its concealment (darkness) and its full revelation (light) are too intense for the lover to bear.
