In Chapter 44, Poem 72 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the imagery of curing a hangover with more wine symbolizes the spiritual seeker's state. The continuous offering of wine, even when reduced to the dregs, represents the unending need for divine love and esoteric knowledge to alleviate the afflictions of the material world. When pure, overflowing spiritual ecstasy is unavailable, the seeker must sustain themselves on the remaining traces or 'dregs' of past spiritual experiences.
