In Chapter 25, Poem 3 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet addresses the finality of death and the futility of seeking the return of those who have passed away. Using powerful metaphors—such as attempting to retrieve a trace from the mighty Jeyhun River, reclaiming a pearl from Qarun's legendary purse, or extracting a single dewdrop from a vast ocean—Attar illustrates that a departed soul is irrevocably absorbed into the absolute. This philosophical stance urges the acceptance of mortality, emphasizing that trying to reverse death is as impossible as retrieving a dewdrop lost to the sea.
