In Chapter 30, Poem 16 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker addresses the paradox of the Divine's concealed nature and the lover's exposed suffering. The Beloved remains hidden 'behind the veil' (پرده), offering no cure or consolation to the helpless lover. Yet, simultaneously, the Beloved 'tears the veil of the lovers', rendering them vulnerable and afflicted by longing. This poem illustrates the mystic's helplessness before a Divine presence that is both inaccessible and relentlessly disruptive to the lover's peace.
