In Chapter 20, Poem 25 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet warns against squandering one's life in vain pursuits. The poem emphasizes that the true nature of one's actions, nurtured 'beneath the veil' of worldly existence, will inevitably be exposed when the veil falls at the end of life or on the Day of Judgment, leaving the negligent soul to face the grim consequences of its deeds.
