In Poem 42 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet juxtaposes divine grace and wrath through cosmic metaphors: a mere whiff of God's grace illuminates Paradise, while the heat of His wrath scorches Hell. This dualistic view of divine attributes sets the stage for the speaker's personal experience of spiritual longing. The 'pain for You' (the agony of separation and seeking the Divine) is depicted as so immense that its recounting would take 'a day that lasts fifty thousand years.' This highlights the infinite, timeless nature of the spiritual journey and the overwhelming magnitude of mystical longing compared to ordinary temporal experiences.
