In Chapter 29, Poem 25 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses an intense desire for self-effacement and spiritual martyrdom in the path of divine love. The plea to be 'slain' symbolically represents the annihilation of the ego (fana) and the complete surrender of the self to the Beloved. The speaker's weariness with his own existence and his declaration 'I am Yours' highlight the Sufi ideal of relinquishing individual identity to achieve ultimate union with the Divine.
