Exclusive Intimacy with the Divine at Death in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 15, Poem 10)

In Chapter 15, Poem 10 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound yearning for the moment of death as the ultimate realization of mystical intimacy. The departure of the soul from the body is not viewed as a tragedy, but as the removal of worldly veils, leaving only the mystic and the Divine ('I and He'). This exclusive relationship is portrayed as a secret 'tale' known only to the lover and the Beloved, highlighting the ineffable and deeply personal nature of spiritual communion in Sufi thought.
