This poem by Attar in Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 7, Poem 3) highlights the Sufi concept of spiritual poverty (faqr), where all worldly existence, hope of perfection, and fear of loss are realized as nothingness (hich). Attar uses the metaphor of footprints or traces left on snow: though visible for a brief moment, they vanish completely when the sun of Divine Truth shines upon them, representing the absolute transience and illusory nature of the created universe in the face of the Divine.
