In this poem from Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the mystical concept of losing free will (ekhtiyar) and the soul's agitation when separated from the Beloved. The imagery of 'dust' (ghobar) represents the annihilated state of the lover. The plea for the Beloved to 'sit' to 'settle the dust' underscores the contrast between the lover's turbulent, dissolved state and the Beloved's grounding presence, a common theme in Sufi literature regarding self-annihilation (fana).
