In Poem 32 of Chapter 32 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound suffering of the lover who feels both continuously consumed by the fire of love and rejected by the Beloved. The lover questions 'How long...' they must endure being burned and cast from the Beloved's sight despite having completely submitted themselves. This verse highlights a common Sufi theme where the spiritual journey involves agonizing trials of separation and devastation, testing the lover's absolute devotion even when they feel abandoned on the path.
