Translation of Hafez poem by Sayid Mujtaba Zahir:
Drink wine because Sheikh (the old religious leader of the village), Hafez (the poet himself), Mufti who is a religious man who releases religious decrees and Muhtaseb who is the religious man who keeps telling others not to do the bad things and encourages them to do good things,
If you look carefully they are all busy in hypocrisy (they are all lying).

The Village of the Wise Men
There was once a big hole on the road of the village of the wise men.
Almost every one was was crossed the road was falling into that hole and got injured.
They called all the wise men of the village for meeting to find a way to get rid of that problem.
They called all the wise men of the village for meeting to find a way to get rid of that problem.
One of the wise men says that they need to employ an ambulance to stand by near the hole to take the victims to the hospital very soon to save them.
Every one claps and appreciates the outstanding solution for the problem.
Another wise man laughs and says that you are all stupid. The victims can be injured severely and they can die at any time on the way to the hospital because the hospital is not near here.

"We need to make a hospital near this hole to save the victims" suggested the man.
All other men appreciated the idea and called his the wisest man ever found in that village.
One Engineer says: That is not a good solution. Building another hospital takes time and needs a lot of money and resources. We have to close this hole by filling it and we have to dig another one near a hospital so that we can take the victims to the hospital very soon.
Every one claps and appreciates that idea.
