In this tale from Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a small bird complains to Prophet Solomon about receiving only half a date from the entire world. The poem serves as a didactic allegory on the nature of worldly attachment. It suggests that even a small attachment (half a date) can lead to dissatisfaction, whereas those who cleanse themselves of worldly desires become 'absolute light' (nur-e motlaq). The bird's complaint represents the insatiable nature of the material self, while the poem's conclusion emphasizes that detachment leads to spiritual enlightenment and truth (sidq).
