In Poem 5 of Mokhtar Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar presents a central Sufi paradox: the simultaneously manifest and utterly hidden nature of the Divine. The poet expresses this through the imagery of a single strand of hair, which symbolizes the subtle path of creation. While the entire cosmos (both worlds) is made manifest through a mere hair-breadth of divine creative will, no being within those worlds can comprehend or recognize even that single strand. This highlights the absolute transcendence of God, where human attempts at recognition lead only to the annihilation of the soul (fana) and the distress of the heart, leaving the seeker in a state of bewildered ignorance.
