In Chapter 29, Poem 69 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet illustrates the ultimate degree of mystical submission to the divine Beloved. The wandering lover, who has long waited in the Beloved's alley for a single validating glance, declares that if he is to be killed (a metaphor for spiritual annihilation or fana), it must be directly by the Beloved and at His feet. This reflects the profound Sufi ideal where even destruction at the hands of the Beloved is a supreme honor and preferable to separation, emphasizing the soul's desire to dissolve its ego entirely in the presence of the divine without any intermediaries.
