In Chapter 41, Poem 7 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound weight of spiritual and emotional grief. The poem uses the striking hyperbole of being crushed beneath 'a hundred thousand mountains' (صد هزاران کوه) to illustrate the immense, hidden burden carried within the lover's 'sorrow-laden breast.' Despite this crushing weight, the speaker emphasizes a continuous, distressed striving, highlighting the enduring nature of devotion and the resilience of the soul amidst unbearable suffering.
