In Chapter 40, Poem 21 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet illustrates the profound asymmetry in the relationship between the lover and the Divine Beloved. The lover embraces absolute humility, desiring to become the mere 'dust' of the Beloved's door in hopes of receiving even a fleeting glance. However, the Beloved exhibits divine coquetry (naz), remaining entirely indifferent and self-sufficient. This contrast highlights the classical Sufi theme of the devoted, 'heart-burned' lover who persistently seeks the attention of a beautifully detached Divine figure.
