Continuous Weeping and the Expectation of Suffering in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 26, Poem 30)
In Poem 30 from Chapter 26 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker describes the overwhelming sorrow and relentless weeping experienced in the path of love. The imagery of tears as 'floods' (سیل) rising with every breath emphasizes the magnitude of the lover's grief and the physical toll of a 'burning heart' (سوز دل) and 'fiery sigh' (آه آتشین). Ultimately, the poem reflects a state of surrender and inevitability, asserting that such profound suffering and constant weeping are the natural expectations when devoted to this beloved.
