In Chapter 22, Poem 23 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the inevitable pain of death for those who remain attached to the material world. The poem emphasizes that despite worldly efforts, despair, or grief (pouring "the dust of the world upon your head"), an individual will ultimately leave the world empty-handed. This illustrates the recurring Sufi theme of the futility of worldly attachments and the tragedy of dedicating one's life to a transient existence.
