In Poem 71 of Chapter 31 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker expresses the deep agony of divine separation (hejr), viewing it as a path with no end in sight. The poem utilizes the striking metaphor of a suckling infant suddenly weaned from its mother's breast to convey the soul's profound sense of helplessness, vulnerability, and longing for the Divine Beloved. This poignant imagery emphasizes the spiritual seeker's painful transition from the comfort of intimate divine presence to the stark reality of worldly separation.
