In Poem 23 of Chapter 13 from Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound spiritual state of effacement (mahw or fana) during the pursuit of divine union. The poem illustrates how the heart, when seeking closeness to the Divine, must surrender everything, including its soul and conventional faith (described metaphorically as the infidelity of the Beloved's tresses). Ultimately, the seeker's individual identity is entirely effaced by the overwhelming manifestation of the Divine, rendering the experience of divine love a deeply hidden, internal secret.
