Hafiz ~ Love's Victory ~ Sufi Mystics

A reading of a selection of Hafiz's poems 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.
