In Chapter 23, Poem 60 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses profound existential regret over the irretrievable loss of time and life. The speaker laments that their days and restless soul have slipped away, emphasizing the absolute finality of this loss. Despite an initial desire to remedy the situation through some contrivance or effort, the poem concludes with a rhetorical acknowledgment of human helplessness: one cannot reclaim or fix an affair that has already irrevocably passed, highlighting human powerlessness before the fleeting nature of existence.
