In Chapter 25, Poem 17 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet elevates personal mourning to a cosmic scale. The death of the beloved is described as a catastrophic event that eclipses the sun and moon. Additionally, Attar employs striking personification by comparing the world to a 'mortal old woman' (عجوزهٔ فانی) who is seized by labor pains out of longing for the deceased. This use of hyperbole and cosmic sympathy emphasizes the profound impact of the loss, portraying the entire universe as sharing in the grief.
