This concept examines Attar's use of the 'afflicted nightingale' as a metaphor for the soul's condition in the material world. It highlights the spiritual danger of becoming 'accustomed' to the 'narrow cage' of terrestrial existence, an attachment that leads to the soul's ignorance of its divine separation and its true origin.

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right; line-height: 2; margin-top: 0.5rem;">

<p>ای بلبل روح مبتلا مانده ای<br />
کاندر پی این دام بلا مانده ای</p>
<p>خو کرده ای اندر قفس خانهٔ تنگ<br />
وآگاه نه ای کز که جدا مانده ای</p>

</div>

## English translation
O afflicted nightingale of the soul, you have remained,
For you have remained caught in this snare of calamity.
You have grown accustomed to this narrow cage of a house,
And you are unaware of Whom you have been separated from.
