In Chapter 22, Poem 16 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet explores the intrinsic connection between spiritual frailty and the anxiety surrounding mortality. Attar asserts that for those with weak faith, the inevitability of death is an agonizing prospect. Rather than weeping helplessly, the poem encourages the cultivation of a resilient soul capable of finding joy ('smiling again') by transcending the fear of death through spiritual conviction.
