This concept highlights the paradox of spiritual proximity without realization. In the poem, the seeker laments sitting 'thirsty at the shore of a sea' for a lifetime without a single drop reaching their soul. This imagery emphasizes the mystic's agony of being close to the 'signless' Divine yet remaining utterly deprived of its essence.

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right; line-height: 2; margin-top: 0.5rem;">

<p>دردا که ز بی نشان نشانم نرسید<br />
وز بحر عیان عین عیانم نرسید</p>
<p>عمری من تشنه بر لب دریایی<br />
بنشستم و قطرهای به جانم نرسید</p>

</div>

## English translation
Alas, that from the signless, no sign reached me,
And from the visible ocean, the essence of the visible did not reach me.
For a lifetime, I sat thirsty at the shore of a sea,
And not a single drop reached my soul.
