In Farid al-Din Attar's Elahi Nameh, 'The Tale of Bayazid with the Traveler Man' serves as a narrative illustration of Fana (self-annihilation). When a traveler asks for Bayazid, the mystic responds that he has been searching for 'Bayazid' for thirty years and cannot find him. This dialogue demonstrates that Bayazid's ego and individual identity have been completely extinguished, leaving no sense of a separate self. The poem uses this encounter to explain that one who is eternally absorbed in the Divine loses all awareness of their own worldly existence.
