M4:1372 — دید بس نادر گیاهی سبز و تر / می‌ربود آن سبزیش نور از بصر

This couplet sets the scene for a pivotal moment in the story of King Solomon and the Jinn. Solomon, known for his wisdom and his ability to communicate with all creatures and plants, discovers a new plant growing in a corner of the Aqsa Mosque. The description of the plant is crucial: it is 'nadir' (rare) and 'sabz-o-tar' (green and fresh), but its greenness is not merely pleasant; it is so vivid that it 'stole light from the eye' ('mi-robud an sabzish nur az basar'). This hyperbolic description emphasizes the plant's extraordinary nature, signaling that it is no ordinary flora. Its intense vibrancy hints at a deeper, perhaps ominous, significance, preparing the reader for the revelation that follows. The plant's unusual appearance immediately draws Solomon's attention, leading him to interact with it and uncover its true purpose, which in turn reveals a profound truth about his own mortality and the fate of the mosque.
