### Concept Overview
In Attar's *Mokhtar Nameh* (Chapter 34, Poem 37), the poem explores the absolute, cosmic power of the divine Beloved and the profound vulnerability of the lover.

### Key Themes
- **Omnipotence of the Beloved:** The Beloved's glance has the power to consume entire worlds, illustrating the infinite power of divine attraction and majesty.
- **The Fragility of the Lover:** Described as a weak entity with only a half-soul, the lover stands powerless, waiting to be completely annihilated by the Beloved's fire.
- **Spiritual Burning:** This burning serves as a metaphor for the mystical stage of annihilation (*fana*), where the lover's individual identity is consumed in the ultimate reality of the Beloved.

<p>دی گفت: چو تو صد به زیانی سوزم<br />
تا می چه کنم که ناتوانی سوزم</p>
<p>چون من به کرشمهای جهانی سوزم<br />
بنگر تو مرا که نیم جانی سوزم</p>

## English translation
Yesterday He said: 'I burn a hundred like you to loss,
So what should I do, that I burn a weak one?
Since with a single glance I burn a world,
Look at me, that I burn a half-soul.'
