In Persian poetry, the rose and the nightingale are important motifs. The object of the nightingale’s affections is the rose which appears beautiful and proud but often cruel, while the nightingale sings endlessly of his longing and devotion.

Their relationship is often equated with the deep human desire to enter a union with the divine. A longing that cannot be fulfilled?
