In Chapter 23, Poem 50 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet reflects on the transience of life and the ultimate disillusionment with human interactions. The repeated refrain 'and departed' (شدیم) emphasizes the inevitability of death and the ephemeral nature of worldly existence. The poem highlights the bitter experience of unrequited virtue—sowing loyalty but reaping faithlessness—and suggests that despite all worldly efforts and experiences, humanity ultimately leaves the world in the same unfulfilled state as when they arrived.
