Classical poets often describe the lover as 'havās-part' because their mind is entirely occupied by the beloved. With the rise of smartphones, 'havās-parti' is frequently used to describe 'phubbing' (ignoring someone for a phone). Teachers in Iran often use the phrase 'Havāset kojāst?' (Where are your senses?) to reprimand students who are daydreaming.
