In Chapter 41, Poem 29 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the paradoxical nature of divine love as a cycle of continuous suffering, death, and rebirth. The speaker states that since the Beloved's love gazed upon them, they must 'die miserably and live' a thousand times every day. This reflects a recurring mystic theme in Sufi literature where the lover's ego is constantly annihilated (fana) through the agonizing intensity of divine love, only to be continually resurrected (baqa) to endure the ongoing ordeal and devotion of the spiritual path.
