It is related in the Old Testament of the Bible and the Glorious Qur'an that the world drowned after a huge rainstorm and floods during the time of Prophet Noah (Peace be upon him). Here that incident is used to compare it with the intensity pf a broken heart's sorrow-filled teardrop. Inspired after a meeting with a young woman, whose lover had promised to marry her, but did not. He married a rich woman instead and the poor young maiden suffered. She looked like a well-educated person but the sadness on her countenance was unmistakably immeasurable and invisible except to those people who have a heart that really beats.
