This poem by Attar in the Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 6, Poem 90) contrasts the spiritual seeker's self-realization with the worldly person's entrapment in dualities. The poet criticizes those caught up in external concepts of good and evil or profit and loss, characterizing the world as a prison. While the mystic remains occupied with their true essence, the worldly person is trapped by identifying with what they are not.
