In Poem 87 of Chapter 47 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar addresses the candle and critiques its claim of having fire in its heart. The poet points out that the fire actually originates from the candle's tongue (its wick), suggesting that its lamentation and claim ('Fire has fallen into my heart') is merely superficial verbal pretense rather than a genuine, soul-consuming internal burning. This distinction highlights the difference between verbal expressions of suffering and the authentic, silent suffering of the true lover.
