نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be 

Persian Poetry

Hafiz - نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

It is estimated that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to follow.

So what is an influencer and how do we become one?
An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship with their audience and their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel or technology.

Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the power to persuade people to buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some influencers charging up to $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more and more people are keen to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are five tips on how to do it.

1. Choose your niche
What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.

2. Choose your medium and write an interesting bio
Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium – such as your own online blog, Instagram or Snapchat – is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your niche area. When you have done that, write an attention-grabbing bio that describes you and your speciality area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to follow you.

3. Post regularly and consistently
Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts. The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts are consistent and possibly follow a theme.

I couldn't put it all here so I hope it was enough :)
