In Chapter 25, Poem 45 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet utilizes the classical Persian motifs of the laughing (blooming) flower and the weeping (raining) cloud to express themes of posthumous mourning. He commands the flower not to 'laugh' upon his grave, subverting its usual association with joy and spring, while imploring the cloud to weep over his dust, using rain as a symbol of cosmic grief and lamentation.
