Seeking Divine Pain and Renunciation of Both Worlds in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 29, Poem 24)

In Chapter 29, Poem 24 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound mystical theme of actively preferring divine pain over any earthly or spiritual remedy. The speaker boldly declares that seeking a cure would be tantamount to infidelity, as the suffering itself represents an intimate connection with the Beloved. The second half of the poem emphasizes total renunciation; the mystic consciously detaches from the joys of both the material and spiritual worlds, seeking exclusively the Divine Presence.
