In Poem 5 of the third chapter of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet laments the martyrdom of a spiritually exalted figure, traditionally understood as Imam Hasan ibn Ali. The poem utilizes Ihām (literary wordplay) on the word 'Hasan'—which denotes both 'beauty' and the Imam's name—to emphasize his virtuous character (khulq). The tragic conclusion, stating that the 'Water of Life' was killed with poison, directly alludes to the historical account of Imam Hasan's death by poisoning. This contrast highlights the profound tragedy of pure, life-giving souls suffering cruelty in the material world.
