Divine Zeal and Unity in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 4, Poem 9)

In this poem from Chapter 4 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical themes of divine zeal (غیرت) and unity (یگانگی). The verses describe the seeker's journey through the 'wilderness of unity,' emphasizing that the heart must be fully seized by divine fervor. Additionally, the poem employs the metaphor of the veil (پرده), suggesting that worldly forms are merely temporary coverings; once the veil is lifted, the underlying reality is revealed entirely as ultimate goodness and spiritual truth.
