Spiritual Thirst and the Sleep of Pride in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 28, Poem 14)

In Chapter 28, Poem 14 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses the consuming nature of divine love through the metaphor of intense spiritual thirst and a burning heart. The quatrain juxtaposes this profound suffering with a plea for spiritual awakening, expressing hope that if the Beloved were to visit even in a dream, it would be enough to rouse the speaker from the 'sleep of pride' and spiritual unawareness.
