Joyous Intoxication of the Beloved in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 35, Poem 33)

In Chapter 35, Poem 33 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the arrival of the Beloved is depicted with imagery of joyous intoxication and captivating beauty. The Beloved enters the market 'intoxicated' and laughing 'like a rose,' symbolizing divine ecstasy and the overwhelming presence of divine beauty in the world. The speaker's rhetorical question, 'what can be done? He is pleasing to me,' illustrates a state of utter surrender and helplessness before the Beloved's irresistible charm.
