In Chapter 26, Poem 36 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet engages in a brief dialogue with his own heart. He blames the heart for causing his eyes to shed tears of blood due to the suffering of love. However, the heart reveals its own ultimate fate in this suffering: it will melt and flow away along with those very tears. This personification and dialogue illustrate the profound, all-consuming nature of mystical sorrow, where the emotional center (the heart) is completely dissolved and swept away by the intensity of weeping for the Beloved.
