In Chapter 22, Poem 6 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar addresses the fleeting nature of life and the vanity of worldly ambition. The poem warns those who spend their lives in vain desires and arrogant pride that their time is limited. It emphasizes the theme of mortality by reminding the reader that everyone only has a temporary 'turn' in the world and must ultimately yield their place, taking nothing more than their predetermined, transient share.
