In Chapter 27, Poem 44 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet utilizes classic Persian metaphors of the beloved as a majestic, mounted figure and the lover as captive prey. The beloved's hair is described as a lasso (کمند) that traps the lover's heart. Meanwhile, the beloved's saddle-strap (فتراک) remains entirely out of reach, symbolizing the exalted, unattainable nature of the beloved and the resulting helplessness and vast distance experienced by the entrapped lover.
