عطار (داستان کبک)

This is a poem by Attar, presenting a story centered on the partridge (kabk). The poem depicts the partridge arriving with great joy and pride, suggesting through its imagery a meditation on status, worth, and perhaps the illusion of superiority, themes characteristic of Attar's allegorical style. The surviving text is brief, offering an opening scene of the partridge's spirited, self-assured arrival and a reflection that no jewel or gem could claim such lordship.
