In Chapter 43, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the depths of unparalleled sorrow. The speaker asserts that no heart can be as uniquely grief-stricken as theirs, with a pain surpassing a hundred simultaneous calamities. The quatrain relies on the metaphor of the world's drink turning into 'tears of blood' (خونابه) to illustrate that only such agonizing sustenance is fitting for a mourner of this magnitude. This emphasizes the mystic theme of absolute emotional and spiritual devastation.
