In Chapter 17, Poem 26 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet advocates for the stoic endurance of both worldly affairs and personal sorrows. By advising the reader to 'swallow them manfully and do not utter a breath' (مردانه فرو میخوری و دم نزنی), Attar emphasizes the spiritual virtue of bearing hardship, grief, and the 'sorrow of the days' in profound silence, without complaint or outward expression of distress.
