In Chapter 26, Poem 5 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs the profound hyperbole and metaphor of 'weeping blood' (خون گریستن) to express boundless, unendurable sorrow. The imagery of blood pouring continuously from a grief-stricken heart ('دل غمناک') and spilling from the eyes signifies an intense spiritual and emotional agony that surpasses ordinary weeping. This illustrates a state where inner pain entirely consumes the poet's life force, leaving no room for worldly joy or 'pleasant drafts of water' (شربت آب خوش), as every drop of life is transformed into blood shed through grief.
