In Chapter 24, Poem 6 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar criticizes human heedlessness regarding mortality. He questions those who live merely as passive observers of the world, ignoring the profound mysteries of body and soul. The poem emphasizes that despite making no provisions for their inevitable death, people delusionally act as if they will live eternally. This quatrain serves as a stark reminder to abandon the illusion of permanence in the physical world and to spiritually prepare for the end of life.
