This poem from Chapter 25 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh conceptualizes grief as a force that completely disorients the bereaved. The death of the beloved not only inflicts deep emotional pain ('burned my soul and my heart') but also shatters the speaker's sense of identity and direction. It reveals hidden vulnerabilities ('my secret was revealed') and leaves the speaker in a state of existential helplessness, repeatedly asking 'what shall I do?' and 'where shall I go?'
