Hazam describes the "symptoms" of love in The Dove's Necklace as being almost spell-like. He says that when one listens to his love speak, no matter what she says he will agree with even if he knows it to be wrong. His description of love depicts a state in which both lovers are almost magnetically drawn to together in all senses. Similar statements are made in the poetry, for example "if my soul were filled with anything but you, I would pluck it out, while any membrane [covering it] would be torn away from it by [my] hands"(A3). The speaker wants to rid himself of anything but love for the other person, even if that means removing some of himself.
The type of love that Hazam talks about in these texts seems to boarder on obsession. There is a section in The Dove's Necklace in which Hazam describes a person not being able to eat or speak because the thought of his lover renders him without words. In the poetry the speaker says, "If he should speak, among those who sit in my company, I listen only to the words of that marvelous charmer" (D2). So, while one lover is wordless because of the thought of his love the other can only listen to his/her love. Either way, it seems that the intensity of love that Hazam and the other poets describes is all--consuming for both parties.
