In Chapter 32, Poem 17 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the volatile and overwhelming nature of mystical love. The verses contrast states of spiritual revelation—being drawn out from the 'veil' (پرده)—with intense suffering, where the 'veil of the heart' fills with blood due to divine sorrow. Attar uses the vivid metaphor of a chameleon (بوقلمون) to describe how the affliction of love continuously transforms the lover's internal state a thousand times a day, illustrating the dynamic, unpredictable, and all-consuming nature of the mystical path.
