In this quatrain from Chapter 4 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical origins of humanity through the lens of divine emanation. The imagery of the 'sun of the stars' and 'drops from the ocean' pouring forth represents the overflowing abundance of divine grace and cosmic existence. The pivotal moment of creation occurs when the Divine suddenly 'looks into the clay clod of Adam.' This divine glance acts as the spiritual catalyst that infuses lifeless earthly matter with the soul, causing the endless stream of human life to continuously emerge from it. The poem illustrates the Sufi understanding of mankind as a profound intersection of humble material origins and transcendent divine attention.
