In Chapter 8, Poem 63 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical theme of spiritual annihilation (fana) and the paradox of true existence. The speaker expresses a deep desire to be delivered from the "shame" of an independent ego, seeking a deliberate transition from existence to non-existence. However, the poem reveals a profound paradox: it is only by completely surrendering or "gambling away" one's existence to the Divine that this existence becomes worthy of pride, as it is no longer separate but entirely devoted to and subsumed in God.
