Admission of Shortcomings and Surrender to Divine Judgment in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Poem 83)

In Poem 83 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker acknowledges their complete inadequacy in spiritual practice, confessing that they 'did not breathe a single breath as we ought to.' This profound admission of human shortcoming is accompanied by an earnest plea not to be banished from the divine court and a complete surrender to God's will regarding reckoning and judgment.
