In this allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a deceased beggar describes a dream dialogue with God. Asked what he has brought to the divine court, the beggar explains that after fifty years of begging, during which people constantly redirected him to God for sustenance, he returns empty-handed to the ultimate Provider. He argues that a king does not demand anything from a beggar, illustrating the Sufi concept of absolute spiritual poverty (faqr) and the unconditional mercy of the divine King.
