In Chapter 31, Poem 59 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet articulates the pinnacle of selfless love, asserting that the lover's sole desire is the Beloved's happiness. The poem emphasizes that if the Beloved is pleased by the lover's absence, the lover is willing to perish to ensure that joy. This reflects the deep Sufi ideal of total surrender and self-effacement, where the lover's personal desires—even the intense longing for union—are entirely subordinated to the will and contentment of the Divine.
