In Chapter 26, Poem 40 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs a striking hyperbolic motif to express the absolute totality of a lover's grief: personifying every individual strand of hair as an active mourner (نوحه‌گر). By claiming that 'every hair of mine becomes a mourner without you' (چون هر مویم نوحه گر آید بی تو), the poem illustrates that sorrow permeates far beyond the emotional realm, transforming the entirety of the physical body into a unified chorus of lamentation.
