This quatrain explores the mystical response to profound spiritual isolation. Having withdrawn from the material world and embraced the agonizing sorrow of love, the speaker chooses absolute silence, sealing their tongue. This silence is explicitly attributed to the lack of a kindred spirit or worthy confidant (ahl) who could comprehend the realities of the mystical journey, reflecting a recurring theme in Attar's work regarding the necessity of hiding esoteric truths from the uninitiated.
