This concept explores the theme of spiritual affliction and the profound power of a lover's sigh in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 43, Poem 22). The speaker, surrounded by an 'army of affliction' (خیل بلا), accepts their state as a 'heart-burned' (دلسوخته) individual. They suggest that their entire existence has been reduced to sighing, but the intensity of their suffering means that if even a single sigh were to take effect, it would be sufficient. This highlights the transformative and potent nature of sincere, suffering-born expression in the mystical tradition.
