In Chapter 47, Poem 81 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar of Nishapur depicts the lover dismissing the candle's burning as unacceptable. The lover asserts that true burning is exclusively the lover's own capacity and lot (had). Although the candle burns with physical pain, its burning is rejected because it lacks the spiritual depth of the lover's lamentation. Therefore, the spiritual intensity of true burning only matches the stature of the human lover, rather than the physical form of the candle.
