In Chapter 14, Poem 27 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, the speaker articulates the heavy burden of worldly sorrow (غم زمانه) and the inevitable pain ('a thorn') embedded in every worldly desire. The poem emphasizes profound existential loneliness by highlighting the complete absence of a kindred spirit (هم نفس) or a consoler (غمگسار), which results in a distraught heart and a tumultuous existence.
