In Chapter 44 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet repeatedly emphasizes the theme of mortality and the fleeting nature of human existence through the imagery of the body returning to the earth. In Poem 60, the speaker envisions their own body being molded into bricks, while in Poem 64, the imagery shifts to crops being sown over the dust of the departed. These vivid earthly metaphors serve to remind the reader of the inevitable reduction of the physical form to basic natural elements.
