In Chapter 42, Poem 15 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the themes of restlessness and the paradox of divine captivity. The soul is described as circling the Beloved from its deepest core, while the physical body cries out in yearning. The poem's most striking imagery revolves around the heart that manages to escape the 'chain' of the Beloved's tresses. Rather than achieving liberation, this escaped heart wanders the world aimlessly, likened to a broken chain (زنجیر گسسته). This metaphor emphasizes the mystic understanding that true spiritual grounding is found only in captive devotion to divine love, whereas breaking those bonds leads to a state of perpetual, agonized wandering.
