In Poem 28 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the soul is metaphorically depicted as a bird intoxicated by the 'wine of meaning' (mey-e ma'ni). The poem highlights two key spiritual lessons:

1. Attachment to Divine Generosity: The bird flies away from worldly attachments to bind its heart to the grace and generosity of the Divine Master (karam-e mawla).
2. Liberation from Worldly Illusion: Even if the seeker does not immediately attain the ultimate spiritual fortune of the Hereafter (dowlat-e 'oqba), the primary victory lies in escaping the deceptive, highway-robbing illusion of the material world (khiyal-e rahzan-e donya).

Thus, Attar emphasizes that the first essential step in spiritual elevation is the detachment and liberation from worldly delusions, which is itself a major triumph.
