The Illusion of the World and the Inevitability of Regret in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 23, Poem 75)

In Chapter 23, Poem 75 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar presents the world as fundamentally built upon vanity and illusion. He emphasizes that this reality is blatantly obvious and cannot be concealed. By pointing out that a lifetime of worldly pursuits ultimately yields nothing but regret at the end of life, Attar questions the purpose of enduring distress for such ephemeral and deceptive goals.
