In Chapter 44, Poem 28 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet invokes the imagery of 'the four and seven' (چار و هفت)—a classical Persian literary reference to the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) and the seven celestial spheres or planets in ancient cosmology. These cosmic forces were traditionally believed to dictate human destiny and worldly suffering. The speaker urges the cupbearer to abandon concerns about astrological determinism and the 'burning distress' of the material world. Instead, the poem pivots to a strong carpe diem theme, calling for music and wine to seize the fleeting moment, as 'life has passed' (عمر رفت). This reflects a mystic's dismissal of material and cosmic constraints in favor of immediate, transcendent experience.
