Hafiz

Hafiz of Shiraz (also known as Hafez) remains the most beloved name in all of Persian literature. Indeed, his mystic, lyric poetry is cherished as one of the great achievements of world literature, on a par with Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare. Where Rumi dives deep, Hafiz's vision is as multifaceted as life itself: beyond literature, philosophy, and spirituality, he is truly a force of nature.
