In Poem 37 of Chapter 46 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet addresses the dawn directly, comparing it unfavorably to their beloved companion. Despite the morning's reputation for illuminating the world and bringing joy (metaphorically described as 'sugar-scattering' in its smile), the speaker dismisses it completely. Because the dawn lacks even a single quality of the true companion, it is commanded to 'draw in its breath' and not breathe at all—essentially an order to hold back the day. This illustrates a common mystical and literary trope where even the most magnificent natural phenomena pale in comparison to the beloved's presence, emphasizing the exclusivity of the speaker's devotion.
