Hafez (حافظ) is a celebrated 14th century Persian lyric poet (1325–1390). He grew up in the city of 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 wrote numerous ghazals expressing love, spirituality, and protest and many of his poems are used as proverbs or sayings. Hafez’s tomb is in Musalla Gardens in Shiraz.
