In Chapter 12, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet uses the figures of Moses and Pharaoh to represent profound internal spiritual realities. The 'Fire of Moses' symbolizes divine illumination and direct revelation, while the 'Pharaoh' represents the unyielding, tyrannical ego (nafs). The poem asserts the spiritual impossibility of experiencing divine presence while still harboring the ego, emphasizing that true mystical transformation requires the complete eradication of the tyrannical self.
