In Chapter 39, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the agonizing and overpowering nature of divine love. The imagery of having love bring 'distress to my soul' and passion dragging the speaker 'by the hair' illustrates a state of absolute surrender and helplessness in the face of this intense passion. Furthermore, the reference to reviving a forgotten 'litany' for the 'love of Your waist' suggests that encountering the divine beloved reawakens deep, albeit neglected, spiritual devotion, bringing it vividly back into focus.
