In Chapter 24, Poem 2 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet reflects on the inevitable transience of worldly power and the futility of building earthly attachments. He argues that even if one achieves ultimate dominion—metaphorically described as ruling "from the moon to the fish"—investing in a permanent "house and a garden in every homeland" is ultimately irrational. The poem serves as a stark reminder of mortality, questioning whether individuals truly believe they will return to this world, thereby urging spiritual detachment from material possessions and earthly settlements.
