Hafiz ~ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 ~ Sufi Mystics

Selected poems of Hafiz taken from the text 'Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved' - translated by Thomas Rain Crowe.

Persian lyric poet Hafiz (born Khwāja Šamsu d-Dīn Muḥammad Hāfez-e Šīrāzī) grew up in Shiraz. Very little is known about his life, but it is thought that he may have memorized the Qur’an after hearing his father recite passages. He is one of the most celebrated of the Persian poets, and his influence can be felt to this day. As the author of numerous ghazals expressing love, spirituality, and protest, he and his work continue to be important to Iranians, and many of his poems are used as proverbs or sayings.
