In Poem 9 from Chapter 26 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the overwhelming sorrow associated with the death of a loved one. The grief is depicted through the hyperbole of weeping blood, a common metaphor in Persian literature indicating profound anguish that surpasses ordinary tears. Even in moments of drunkenness or attempts at solace, the thought of the beloved's death transforms the very wine consumed into tears of blood. This vivid imagery illustrates how grief inescapably permeates the poet's entire physical and spiritual being.
