Chapter 44 (Bab 44): Saqi-nameh in Mokhtar Nameh

Chapter 44 (Bab 44) of Farid al-Din Attar's Mokhtar Nameh functions as a Saqi-nameh (Book of the Cupbearer). The quatrains within this chapter consistently address the 'Saqi' or cupbearer as a refrain. Thematically, this section focuses on existential sorrow, the fleeting and transient nature of life, and the longing for spiritual intoxication and release from the burdens of the ego through metaphorical wine.
