Shamseddin Hafez, although born some six hundred years ago in southern Iran, is a contemporary 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 love, 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.
202 of Hafez's ghazals have been translated in manner where the melody and the sense of the original still remains.
The pages of this edition are in the uncut format.
