In Section 8 of Farid al-Din Attar's 'Mosibat Nameh', the dialogue between Sultan Mahmud and his beloved slave Ayaz serves as an allegory for the contrast between worldly power and spiritual wealth. While Sultan Mahmud boasts of his vast empire, armies, and worldly dominion, Ayaz responds that his own wealth is far superior because he possesses Mahmud (the Beloved) himself. In Sufi symbolism, this illustrates that the spiritual seeker's devotion and connection to the Divine (the ultimate Beloved) represents a supreme state of wealth and fulfillment, rendering all material and temporal kingdoms worthless.
