In Chapter 44, Poem 71 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet addresses the human tendency to squander life in a state of ignorance. The poem highlights the monotonous and meaningless passage of time, described as turning 'days into nights, and nights into days' in an unjust world. The invocation for a 'cup of wine'—a common motif in Attar's Qalandari poetry—serves as a metaphor for spiritual awakening, urging the reader to snap out of their unawareness before the precious currency of life slips away entirely.
