About
Khwaja Shams-ud-Din Muhammad Hafez-e Shirazi, known simply as Hafiz, is one of the most beloved poets in the Persian-speaking world. His collected poems, the Divan-e-Hafez, are found in nearly every Iranian home and are used for divination and guidance. A Sufi poet of ecstatic love, his work celebrates divine intoxication, the beloved, and the dissolution of the separate self — themes that have made his poetry a touchstone for seekers across traditions and centuries.
