In Chapter 26, Poem 45 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the theme of the lover's ultimate sacrifice. The poem describes a heart that willingly gives up its life for the beloved without regret. Mourning the agonizing separation, the heart weeps "much blood" until it is finally consumed by the incurable pain of love. This imagery underscores the Sufi concepts of enduring spiritual suffering and the total annihilation of the self in the pursuit of divine love.
