باب چهل و هشتم: در صفت شمع / Chapter 48: On the Description of the Candle

This chapter of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh consists of quatrains describing the candle. In classical Persian Sufi literature, the candle is a prominent metaphor for the ardent lover who consumes themselves in the fire of love, crying tears of wax and ultimately facing annihilation.
