In Chapter 10, Poem 7 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet employs two distinct metaphors to illustrate the exalted origin and current captivity of the human soul or intellect. First, the intellect is addressed as the 'falcon of intellect' (باز خرد), a majestic royal bird whose rightful place is resting on the arm of the Divine King. Second, it is compared to the 'Joseph of the holy Egypt' (یوسف مصر قدسی) trapped at the bottom of a well, which symbolizes the soul's exile and imprisonment within the material world and physical body. The poem acts as an urgent spiritual call, pleading with the soul to abandon its waywardness and return to its divine source.
