In Chapter 25, Poem 9 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound mystery of death and the afterlife through a dream encounter. The speaker dreams of a departed loved one ('that sleeper in the dust') and asks about their condition. The deceased's brief and enigmatic reply, 'See, and do not ask,' suggests that the reality of the afterlife or the state of the dead cannot be articulated in worldly terms. It is an experience that defies language and must simply be witnessed, highlighting the mystical theme of ineffability and the limitations of human inquiry in the face of mortality.
