In Chapter 22, Poem 5 of the Mokhtar Nameh, Attar explores the inevitability and universality of death. He asserts that death is an absolute equalizer, indiscriminately taking both the joyful and the sorrowful, the master and the disciple. The poem conveys the stark existential perspective that mortality is intrinsic to life itself, and the process of dying begins at the very moment of birth.
