Hey son, try to become a father one day!
It’s Father’s Day and I still don’t know why there are congratulations on becoming a father? The advice that #Hafiz has in the above stanza and orders that “O son, try to become a father one day”, what does it really have to do with the clichéd, dry and pointless congratulations of our time?
Why should we be happy that we have added a person to this world who is going to be involved in the problem of providing housing, education and employment problems, the problem of finding stable social relations, the problem of bank loans and so on. be
Adding one or more people to the “dominoes of problems” is a congratulation?!
Adding one person to Tehran who doesn’t even have good air to breathe, does it mean Barak Allah?
Congratulations on Father’s Day is meaningful when those stories and “conditions” described by #Hafiz in this sonnet have been fulfilled, otherwise what’s the point?
Everyone knows that Hafiz Jan Ma was not a person of “direct and frank speaking” (and his words were “curtain in curtain” with that great mastery of words he had). But in this sonnet, the same Hafiz who sits on the curtain of Mughal Goi, sits in front of us and preaches like a simple pulpit.
But Hafiz and preaching?!
The verse of this sonnet is Neshit. And so is the right. Is becoming a father a joke?
The genre of this sonnet does not match the other sonnets of Hafez. Some of Hafez’s sonnets are so intertwined that sometimes each “single verse” is a separate topic. But what happened now that Hafez is sitting and advising us in such a smooth and simple manner (and like Imam Mohammad Ghazali)?
What is the summary of Hafez’s words here?
The summary of Hafez’s speech in this sonnet is based on the fact that Mr. John! You don’t have a proper situation until you, and you don’t have order until you, so it’s obvious that you can’t make “other” happy either.
Here Hafez says “Try to become a father” but under what conditions?!
Oh! With these “conditions” that Hafez left, yes! It is very good to become a father, but other than that, is “adding to the population” a congratulation?
If someone is established in the orbit of life, if someone is a “corridor” according to Hafez, if someone is “golden” (not that he found gold, but became gold!) well, fatherhood and #Father_Day, blessed be the one who Life” added. According to Hafez, it used to be a “corridor”, now it has become a “leader”.
Otherwise, if there was no corridor, he made a mistake and added one or more others to this “Kharab Abad”.
How can one who is restless himself settle another? How can one who is poor enrich another? How can one who is troubled himself provide a fragrant life for others?
It’s Father’s Day and tired of so many clichéd and useless greetings, I wonder how much we are responsible for adding humans to this world. In this barrage of congratulations, you should think.
