In Chapter 26, Poem 37 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the recurring metaphor of blood-tinged tears as a 'rose-colored steed' (��لگون سرشک). In this specific quatrain, the speaker attributes his flushed or red face (سرخ رویی) to the extreme swiftness and heat of this metaphorical steed racing down his cheeks. This imagery intricately connects the physical redness of a weeping lover's face with the speed and color of a galloping horse, emphasizing the overwhelming intensity of his sorrow.
