In this allegory from Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, a restless, heartbroken mystic (bidel) laments his constant spiritual suffering directly to God. He declares that even if the world is completely unaware of his torment, God knows exactly what He has inflicted upon him with every passing breath. The lover boldly challenges the Divine, stating that since God has stolen his heart and holds absolute power over his anguish, He may continue doing as He pleases, but the lover will never absolve Him for it. This tale exemplifies the profound, often audacious intimacy found in Sufi poetry, where the mystic's intense suffering is intertwined with unyielding, demanding devotion to the Beloved.
