Innate Suffering and the Loss of Control in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 15, Poem 12)
In this poem from Chapter 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker laments their absolute helplessness and the seemingly predestined nature of their suffering. By describing themselves as 'wandering in blood' since the day they were born and having 'lost the thread' of control, the poem emphasizes the inescapable human condition of affliction and the absence of personal agency in the face of cosmic calamity.
