"If You Don't Stop That" - Hafiz Poem

Hafiz poems were amongst the best poems that we read in class during our Global Literature class. The poem I liked most is "If you don't stop that". It was really fun and inspiring to me at the same time. It describes a life of a human who lives in confusion and pain. Then, he discovers something that takes him away from this confusion and pain a little bit, which according to how I understood the poem, is alcohol. By getting drunk and singing all night long this person forgets his pain and confusion. The funniest words in the poem were the ones that pain and confusion said "If you don't stop that, all that fun, we're leaving". So, if he would continue living his life like this, pain and confusion would leave-disappear!
