In Chapter 18, Poem 17 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses a profound detachment from ordinary existence. By stating that 'There is another soul' and 'another city', the poem emphasizes the existence of a higher, transcendent spiritual realm. It highlights the rejection of worldly attachments and superficial desires ('the snare of every beggar') in favor of seeking the ultimate divine attention and love ('the gaze of the Friend'). This reflects the core Sufi theme of rising above materialism and lower states of being to attain a direct, elevated connection with the Divine.
