Both Chapter 23, Poem 19 and Chapter 15, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh explore the existential sorrow of a life spent in total isolation, utilizing nearly identical linguistic structures and metaphors. In both quatrains, the speaker laments that they never found a confidant (mahram) or a healing balm (marham) throughout their entire lives (dar hame omr / hame omr). While Chapter 23, Poem 19 emphasizes the ultimate departure of the soul (jan raft) and the uselessness of breath, Chapter 15, Poem 2 focuses on the persistent search for a companion (hamdam) that ultimately yields nothing. Together, these poems demonstrate Attar's thematic preoccupation with spiritual solitude and his use of recurring poetic formulas.
