This quatrain from Attar's Mokhtar Nameh explores the themes of absolute devotion and self-sacrifice. The speaker pledges their soul as an offering and maintains steadfastness in the face of sorrow for the beloved. The core imagery revolves around the candle metaphor ('Like a candle, I will bring a thousand heads'); just as a candle burns its head to give light and is willing to be repeatedly consumed, the lover expresses a desire to have a thousand lives or heads only to sacrifice them all in the presence of the beloved.
