Hafez and ghazal poetry: Hafez, or Khwaja Shams al-Din Muhammad Hafez-e Shirazi, was a 14th-century Persian poet who is widely admired for his mastery of the ghazal, a poetic form that consists of a series of couplets that share a common rhyme and meter. Hafez’s ghazals are renowned for their beauty, elegance, and subtlety, and their use of imagery, symbolism, and allusion. Hafez’s poetry reflects his profound knowledge of Persian culture, literature, and religion, as well as his personal experiences of love, friendship, and spirituality. Hafez’s poetry is widely read and memorized by Iranians, and his tomb in Shiraz is a popular pilgrimage site.
