Cosmic Restlessness and Rejection of Worldly Attachments in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 29, Poem 9)

In Chapter 29, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound existential restlessness and an absolute refusal to be confined by worldly attachments or "fetters." By contrasting the stationary, passive nature of the earth with the perpetual motion of the celestial sphere, the poem illustrates the mystic soul's agitation and its yearning to transcend earthly boundaries rather than remain stagnant.
