In Chapter 26, Poem 35 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs a direct literary gloss to clarify the metaphor of the 'rose-colored steed' (گلگون - Golgoon). By explicitly inserting the phrase 'یعنی اشک' ('meaning tears') into the second couplet, Attar removes metaphorical ambiguity, definitively equating the red-tinted steed with his own blood-stained tears. This explicit definition not only structures the imagery of this specific quatrain but also serves as an interpretive key for the broader equestrian-tear metaphors that recur throughout this chapter of the collection.
