Hafez of Shiraz حافظ شیرازی

SHAMSEDDIN MOHAMMAD OF SHIRAZ, whose nom de plume was to be “Hafiz,” was born in southern Iran early in the 14th century. He is the Persian language’s most loved writer. Hafez is a timeless and universal poet. Wherever Persian is known, he is easily recited by both King and common man. Even illiterates will recite a memorized verse of Hafez. Those uncertain about matters of love, fortune, the future or any other situation open a page of his collection of poems at random and in it see their dilemmas untangled. His turn of phrase has enriched the Persian lexicon and, even more than Shakespeare in English, has entered everyday language. This has made him the Persian culture’s most read, quoted and revered figure. His verse not only gives a panoramic insight into the culture of Persia but also window into understanding the universal soul.

Mohammad Ghazvini
