In Poem 56 of Chapter 44 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet intertwines the themes of carpe diem and human mortality. The speaker addresses the listener at dawn, urging them to arise, abandon their sorrow, and partake in the morning draught (sabuh). This call to seize the day is grounded in a stark reminder of death: countless mornings will continue to dawn in the future when the speaker and the listener have passed away and their faces are 'in the dust.' The poem contrasts the eternal, cyclical recurrence of the natural world (the breaking of dawn) with the transient nature of human life.
