Damn Thirsty - Hafiz

Most of Hafiz's poetry that impress me the most are short and simple, like the poetry titled Damn Thirsty.




In my opinion, Hafiz tries to describe the impossible become possible; hence the fish on the camel and feeling thirsty. Also, describes a path that the "fish" undergoes in the attempt to find home, a place to feel relaxed, cool, and not thirsty. In life, people take different directions that lead towards different paths and one must choose the destination of their life. People are often thirsty for change and thirsty to try the things that once were thought to be unreachable and non realistic. Even in most cases we may feel lost, like the fish that senses that something is not right, we should not stop from arriving to the point that aids to see the vision of life crystal clear. Hence, first people should dream, only then to try and accomplish it
