In Chapter 11, Poem 44 of Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the profound inexpressibility of mystical sorrow and suffering. The poet laments that despite enduring immense pain, he will die 'unspoken and unheard.' He employs the metaphor of a 'partridge with a severed tongue' to illustrate the ultimate futility of language; even if one were to speak for a thousand years, the true depth of this spiritual anguish remains impossible to articulate. This emphasizes the solitary and ineffable nature of the mystic's inner torment.
