In Poem 35 of Chapter 38 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, love is portrayed as a paradoxical, dual-natured force. The poem explains that the Beloved's love first annihilates the lover's existence and causes continuous mourning. However, it also illustrates that the same love which inflicts deep spiritual wounds (symbolized by the Beloved's two eyes) simultaneously offers the ultimate healing balm (symbolized by the two rubies, representing lips). This emphasizes the mystical concept that spiritual suffering and restoration are intricately intertwined on the path of divine love.
