The Insignificance of Both Worlds in the Face of Divine Love in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 29, Poem 44)

In Poem 44 of Chapter 29 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the overwhelming and absolute nature of divine love. The poem emphasizes that in the presence of true love for the Divine, both the material world and the eternal realm become insignificant and unnecessary. Furthermore, the poet traces the origin of all existence ('both worlds') to a single strand of the beloved's hair, illustrating the all-encompassing power of divine manifestation and the lover's complete detachment from everything other than the beloved.
