In Chapter 40, Poem 5 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the painful paradox of unrequited love and constant yearning for a Beloved who responds with continuous enmity (کینه). The poem highlights that despite knowing not a single desire will be fulfilled, the lover is compelled to desire the Beloved. The only consequence of this persistent enmity is the destruction of the lover's own heart, emphasizing the self-sacrificial and unilateral nature of mystical devotion.
