Description
These poems are written for the common man in common everyday speech as seen through eyes that don't idolize individualism and separation. Rather, they reflect the human potential of living in a world of harmony and grace. During a time of international political and religious chaos and violence, perhaps this work will in some way be an essential guide for our survival and recovery. Always the humble teacher, Hafiz, the Perfect Master, sits with us on the barstool in the town pub like a mirror, reflecting back our dreams.

Persian lyric poet Hafiz (born Khwja amsu d-Dn Muammad Hfez-e rz) grew up in Shiraz. Very little is known about his life, but it is thought that he may have memorized the Qur'anafter hearing his father recite passages. When his father died, he left school to work at a bakery and as a copyist. Hafiz became a poet at the court of Abu Ishak and also taught at a religious college. 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.
