In Poem 73 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet articulates a profound mystical paradox where the 'grief' or 'sorrow' (اندوه) of longing for the Divine is experienced as the soul's ultimate joy, companion, and relief. Rather than fleeing from spiritual pain, the mystic embraces the agony of separation from the Beloved. This divine sorrow acts as an exhilarating cure (مفرح) for the grieving heart, transforming worldly suffering into a source of transcendent ecstasy and providing the ultimate companionship.
