The Transience of Worldly Fortune in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 25, Poem 28)

In Chapter 25, Poem 28 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet laments the passing of an individual once considered a 'treasure of the earth' (گنج زمین). The poem serves as an elegy that emphasizes the transience of worldly wealth and the sudden, humbling reality of death. By contrasting the deceased's former glory with the finality of their departure, Attar highlights the overarching theme of mortality and the impermanence of material existence.
