In Poem 45 of Chapter 44 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet advises the seeker to detach from worldly affairs ('earth and sky') in preparation for the perilous journey of death. The evocative imagery of moonlight shining upon the earth acts as a memento mori, reminding the reader to contemplate their transient nature and focus on spiritual purity before inevitably returning to dust beneath the soil.
