If you don't stop that

I used to live in
A cramped house with confusion
And pain.

But then I met the Friend
And started getting drunk
And singing all
Night.

Confusion and pain
Started acting nasty,
Making threats,
With talk like this,

"If you don't stop 'that' -
All that fun -

We're
Leaving."

Hafiz, 14th century Persian poet

[yes, 'the Friend' is God, just to be clear]
