In Poem 64 of Chapter 44 in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the poet uses the metaphor of wine as a necessary antidote (تریاک) to the pervasive 'poison' of worldly sorrow. The poem emphasizes a carpe diem theme, urging the drinking of wine while one is still alive ('at the edge of the field'). This urgency is driven by the stark reminder of human mortality—the realization that time is short before individuals turn to dust and crops are sown over their graves, highlighting the cyclical return of the physical body to the earth.
