In Chapter 22, Poem 18 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet addresses the 'light-spirited soul' (جان سبک روح), questioning its unexpected heaviness and reluctance ('lameness') after barely beginning its journey. The poem contrasts the joy and delight of the soul's arrival with the profound sorrow and hesitation at its departure. This highlights the paradox of spiritual attachment, where the inherently ethereal soul becomes weighed down by the material world, making its eventual departure a source of grief rather than a joyful return to its origin.
