In Chapter 23, Poem 25 of Attar of Nishapur's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound weariness of earthly existence, framing death not as a tragedy but as a welcome release from 'endless sorrow' (غم بیپایان).

Key Themes:

• Folding up the Carpet of Life (فرش درنوردم جان): A vivid metaphor for ending one's earthly existence and withdrawing from the world.
• The Soul's Release: The poet implores the soul, which has already 'reached the lips' (جان به لب آمده)—signifying the final moments of life—to break away from the physical vessel of the body.
• Existential Oblivion: The final plea asks the departing soul to forget the bewildered, wandering earthly self (من سرگردان), highlighting a desire for absolute peace and detachment from identity.
