In Chapter 42, Poem 6 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the theme of the lover's extreme physical weakness and wasting away due to intense longing and need. The speaker expresses a profound state of frailty, claiming to have faded so much from sorrow and separation that they are no longer visible to the eye. This hyperbolic expression illustrates the consuming nature of spiritual yearning, where the lover's very existence diminishes almost to nothingness in the absence of the beloved.
