The Lifelong Search for a Spiritual Confidant in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 15, Poem 2)

In Chapter 15, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the profound existential and spiritual loneliness of the human heart. The poem emphasizes a lifelong, unfulfilled search for a true spiritual companion or confidant (mahram/hamdam). The heart's ultimate departure in a 'heartbroken' state, having found no healing balm or kindred spirit during its time in the world, underscores the fundamental isolation of the spiritual seeker in the temporal realm.
