In Chapter 32, Poem 59 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the seeker describes a state of inescapable spiritual distress, lamenting that 'calamity has seized my front and back.' The quatrain captures the ultimate paradox of the mystical path: the seeker cries out in complaint against the very 'savior' (faryad ras) they rely upon. This illustrates the complex dynamic where the Divine Beloved is experienced as both the source of consuming agony and the only ultimate hope for salvation.
