In Chapter 34, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the motif of the Divine night visitation ('Last night He came...') expresses the severe, transformative trials of the mystical path. The poem describes the Divine intent to 'encircle' the seeker and 'drown Our seeker in blood.' This bloody trial signifies the annihilation of the ego (fana) and the absolute surrender required of the mystic. The imagery of the heart's bloody shirt becoming a cloak (kherqeh) suggests that true initiation into Sufism involves immense inner suffering and the complete sacrifice of the self, allowing the Divine to establish its absolute authority (throne) in the center of the purified heart.
