In Poem 39 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound state of mystical bewilderment (hayrat) characterized by self-alienation. The speaker describes being completely unaware of their own soul and body, to the point where they feel compelled to seek out their own self. This paradoxical state reaches its climax when the speaker feels that their 'I' has become an 'other.' In Sufi mysticism, this reflects the dissolution of the ego (fana), where the seeker's individual identity is so thoroughly overwhelmed by the spiritual state that they no longer recognize their own familiar existence.
