In Chapter 42, Poem 10 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet describes the profound devastation and helplessness experienced by the lover in the beloved's absence. The memory or 'troop of imagination' (خیل خیال) of the beloved is depicted as launching a sudden 'night raid' (شبیخون) on the lover's heart, overwhelming the already burnt soul and causing complete emotional defeat.

<p>جان سوخته پای بست آمد بی تو<br />
وز دست شده به دست آمد بی تو</p>

بر قلب بسی شکست آمد بی تو</p>

Without you, the burnt soul became bound at the feet,
And the helpless one was captured without you.
As soon as the troop of your memory made a night raid,
Many a defeat fell upon the heart without you.
