In Poem 65 of Chapter 44 in the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar contrasts the vibrant season of spring with the inevitability of death through the metaphor of musical instruments. The sounds of the harp (چنگ) and the reed flute (نای), typically associated with festive spring gatherings, are instead perceived as a sorrowful lament carrying the "scent of blood" and echoing from the poet's own grave. This subversion of traditional springtime imagery emphasizes the omnipresence of mortality and the transient nature of life's worldly pleasures.
