This concept explores the theme of human mortality and the absolute power of death in Chapter 30, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem compares the human soul to fleeting lightning, emphasizing the brevity of life before all are inevitably reduced to dust and blood. The personified voice at the end—representing Death or the Divine Decree—declares its absolute supremacy, humbling all of creation by bringing dust upon the heads of all.
