In Chapter 23, Poem 17 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound weariness with the world, its greed, and its needs. The central concept is seeking death not merely as an end, but as a longed-for deliverance and liberation from the burdens of a long, exhausting worldly life. The rush and struggles of life become tedious, making death an object of earnest desire and a means of ultimate release.
