In Chapter 47, Poem 11 of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet uses the metaphor of a candle to depict the heart's silent and consuming devotion to the Divine. The poem emphasizes that the lover's entire existence—both body and soul—is directed solely toward the Beloved. The heart is likened to a candle that burns and weeps through the night, silently enduring the pain of love without uttering a single complaint. This imagery powerfully conveys the mystic concept of selfless, agonizing, and quiet devotion in Sufi literature.
