Help translating a Hafez poem into English, please? (I only need a very, very rough translation) گفتم کی ام دهان و لبت کامران کنند گفتا به چشم هر چه تو گویی چنان کنند گفتم خراج مصر طلب می‌کند لبت گفتا در این معامله کمتر زیان کنند گفتم به نقطه دهنت خود که برد راه گفت این حکایتیست که با نکته دان کنند گفتم صنم پرست مشو با صمد نشین گفتا به کوی عشق هم این و هم آن کنند گفتم هوای میکده غم می‌برد ز دل گفتا خوش آن کسان که دلی شادمان کنند گفتم شراب و خرقه نه آیین مذهب است گفت این عمل به مذهب پیر مغان کنند گفتم ز لعل نوش لبان پیر را چه سود گفتا به بوسه شکرینش جوان کنند گفتم که خواجه کی به سر حجله می‌رود گفت آن زمان که مشتری و مه قران کنند گفتم دعای دولت او ورد حافظ

Persian words staring with "mo" Hiya. Seems like there're a lot of Persian common words that start with "mo". motavaled mofavaagh mokhaalef mokhafaf mohaajer moraaghebat mosta'ghel etc... To someone who's learning Persian, these "mo" words sound pretty similar to each other. It'd probably be easier if I just learned all the "mo" words straight off. Can anyone please write up all the COMMON Persian words beginning with "mo" that they can think of? Thanks! ^.^

About taarof Hi! I'm pretty familiar with how taarof works, and the situations in which it's most likely to occur, but I don't know how to recognise it. I realise even Iranians can have trouble recognising it, but I have heard that certain words and phrases (like "bandeh", "befarmayin", etc.) are good indicators. I think maybe I need to see how taarof works in a few example conversations. Could someone please make up some good example conversations in which taarof is happening (in Persian)?
