In Section 47 of Jami's Layli o Majnun (within the Haft Awrang), Majnun disguises himself in a sheepskin and slips among a shepherd's flock so that he may pass near Layla's encampment unrecognized. The section opens by naming its own key image: the poet says the tale itself has a پوست (skin/husk) and a مغز (kernel/marrow), and that only one who knows the husk can pass through the husk to reach the kernel. Read as Sufi allegory, the borrowed sheepskin figures the seeker's willingness to shed human dignity and outward identity, wearing a lowly exterior form so as to draw near the beloved's essence. The husk-versus-kernel imagery frames the disguise as a lesson that outward abasement is the veil through which inner nearness is won. Distinct from Attar's parallel telling of the same motif, Jami's treatment foregrounds the explicit pust/maghz (form/essence) reading of the episode.
