In Poem 51 of Chapter 35 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the classic Persian poetic imagery of the beloved's facial features to convey the spiritual and emotional torment of the lover:

• The Motif of Khatt (New Growth): The poem opens with a reference to the 'down' (peach fuzz) surrounding the beloved's 'sugar' (lips). This boundary represents the emerging veil over divine sweetness, which metaphorically 'drinks the heart's blood' of the lover.
• Crooked Tresses (Zolf-e Kazh): The tresses are twisted or made crooked (kazh) as a deliberate gesture of coquetry (delbari). Despite the lover's plea to refrain from twisting them, the beloved willfully curls them.
• The Beloved's Willfulness: The play between the lover's warning ('Do not twist...') and the beloved's immediate act ('You saw that you twisted...') highlights the absolute sovereignty of the beloved and the inevitable submission of the lover to the bewildering and painful allure of divine beauty.
