Joyful Self-Sacrifice and Devotion in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 42, Poem 13)

In Chapter 42, Poem 13 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet articulates the Sufi ideal of joyful self-sacrifice. The narrator willingly embraces the overturning of his heart and the expiration of his life in the path of the Beloved's sorrow. Each breath is happily pledged to the Beloved's service, illustrating how true devotion in mystical love transforms the pain of loss and self-annihilation into supreme spiritual joy.
