In Chapter 32, Poem 24 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses profound bewilderment and helplessness in the face of the Beloved's coquetry and majesty. The imagery of humans as mere children watching a 'wondrous game' (بوالعجب باز��) reflects the Sufi motif of the Divine Game, where the lover is a passive, bewildered spectator to the incomprehensible and sovereign actions of the Divine.

<p>بس طیره بماندم ز طنازی تو<br />
بس سخت فتادم از سرافرازی تو</p>
<p>تا کی باشیم همچو طفلان شب و روز<br />
نظارگیان بوالعجب بازی تو</p>

## English translation
I remained utterly bewildered by your coquetry,
I fell so hard because of your haughtiness.
How long must we be like children, night and day,
Mere spectators to your wondrous game?
