The Flourishing of Longing and Intoxication in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 32, Poem 19)

In Chapter 32, Poem 19 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the lover describes a state of total infatuation and intoxication (مس�� و شیدا) with the Divine Beloved. The poem centers on a profound realization regarding the promise that the lover's affairs would 'flourish' (رونق گیرد): the lover notes that while something indeed took hold and flourished, it was not worldly matters, but rather the intense, unyielding longing and madness (سودا) for the Beloved.
