In Chapter 16, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the themes of mortality and the inherent suffering of the physical world. The quatrain suggests that in a realm defined by death and worldly affliction, true life and the 'treasure of meaning' are fundamentally distant. Consequently, the seeker is advised to embrace unfulfillment and detach from worldly desires, recognizing that the cycle of death is near and lasting worldly fulfillment is an illusion.
