The poetry of Khawaja Shamsuddin Mohammad Hafiz Shirazi

"Hafiz's poetry is the knowledge of all Bayt al-Ghazal, thanks to the charm and grace of his words." It is rare to find a Persian-speaking Iranian who does not remember a few verses of Hafez. There are few people who do not recognize the status and dignity of this sweet-spoken poet in the flourishing of human culture and thought, and do not bow before his greatness. However, his hidden secrets and lofty thoughts cannot be known from the side of his sonnets, like each verse and his poems are full of artistic subtleties, humorous but mysterious themes, mystical terms and aesthetics while using rhetorical points. The use of mystical interpretations at the height of sensationalism, embellishing the speech with novel arrays, excerpts and summaries, mixing the nuances of rulings with Qur'anic points, etc., are all of his characteristics and have made him a global personality.

It should be noted that regarding the copies of Divan Hafez, out of thirty-five printed copies and more than forty-four manuscripts, unfortunately, no basic and basic work has been done and most of the commentators, instead of choosing the copy, are careful and careful. spend, they have made a version as the basis of interpretation without investigation and accuracy, and whatever they could not understand, they have either justified it or left it aside. In this chaotic market where numerous and erroneous versions of Hafez's Diwan are constantly offered with a thousand and one right and wrong motives, the cultural guardians of the society are expected to put an end to this mess with the help of scholarly and committed rhetoricians.
