In Chapter 39, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet highlights the limitations of human faculties in comprehending the Divine. The intellect ('aql) is described as raising a lament out of yearning, while the heart detaches from itself and the soul in its attempt to describe the Divine. Additionally, Attar employs the metaphor of the Divine's 'non-existent waist' to represent the formless, incomprehensible nature of the Divine Essence, contrasting it with all physical beings that 'gird their loins' in servitude and readiness before it.
