Discover How Hafiz s Spiritual Life and Vision Can Enlighten
Your Own
Hafiz is known throughout the world as Persia s greatest poet,
with sales of his poems in Iran today only surpassed by those of
the Qur an itself. His probing and joyful verse speaks to people
from all backgrounds who long to taste and feel divine love and
experience harmony with all living things.
This beautiful sampling of Hafiz s works captures his deep
spiritual understanding, offering a glimpse into the vision that
has inspired people around the world for centuries. Considered by
his contemporaries as an oracle and often referred to as "Tongue of
the Hidden" and "Interpreter of Secrets," Hafiz followed Sufism s
inner path on a quest to discover the hidden meaning of the
universe, and shares his experiences and desire for union with the
Divine in symbolic language that borders on magical.
Infused with the spirit of love and joy, this unique collection
offers insight into Haiz s spiritual philosophy and carefree
mysticism that addresses the earthly beauty, pain, ecstasy, and
longing that define human nature, and the divine adoration that
promises to set the spirit free.
"Ambiguity is a major characteristic of Persian poetry, and
Hafiz was one of the greatest masters of this artistic quality:
each reader tends to see his or her own experiences reflected in
the poems. As a result, it is usually unclear whether in a given
verse he means actual wine or spiritual wine, a male or a female
beloved, a human beloved or God, and so forth . But after reading
the same images over and over in ever-changing contexts, one
gradually leaves behind the ordinary material world and enters into
a realm in which everything symbolizes the beautiful qualities of
the beloved, who ultimately is God and the source of Love." from
the Preface by Ibrahim Gamard, annotator and translator, "Rumi and
Islam: Selections from His Stories, Poems, and Discourses Annotated
& Explained "
