In Chapter 14, Poem 22 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet expresses the unceasing longing of the heart, which continuously reads the 'tale of the intimate friend' (the Divine) and the 'page of secrets.' Despite this relentless spiritual devotion and the poet's rigorous self-accounting, he laments that his efforts appear unanswered, as 'not one account of mine was read back.' This highlights a central theme in Sufi literature: the agony of the seeker who fervently strives for divine intimacy but experiences silence or apparent distance from the Beloved.
