		Hafez lived in Shiraz for most of his life and he still lies there, in his beloved city, where he longed to be and his tomb is still a place of pilgrimage, including visits as tributes from lovers of poetry.

	Hafez
		Hafez's principal verse form, one that he brought to a perfection never achieved before or since, was the ghazel, a lyric poem of 6 to 15 couplets linked by unity of subject and symbolism rather than by a logical sequence of ideas.
		Hafez's achievement was to give these conventional subjects a freshness and subtlety that completely relieves his poetry of tedious formalism.
		Hafez also reduced the panegyric element of his poems to a mere one or two lines, leaving the remainder of the poem for his ideas.

	iranian.com: Reza Ordoubadian, New translation of Hafez poems
		Hafez is one of the principal foundations of the Persian culture, someone whose word is not just experienced on the surface, but whose word provides an inner light, a sense of otherness, that permeates the way of life of the people who experience it.
		Hafez is, with Rumi, Sadii, and Ferdowsi, one of the rare souls who has molded the thinking of the Iranian people and Persian speakers all over the world for six centuries.
		Hafez argues that the transcendent can be only understood through the flesh because flesh gives spirit a house, and the understanding of the nature of the house is imperative for an understanding of the content, the spirit.

		It is only Hafez's eloquence, musicality, and mellifluousness and his skillful, witty manner of planting his satire in his ghazals that succeed in establishing such an unlyrical theme as a frequent motif in post-Hafezian lyric poetry.
		Hafez's attack on the pretenders of virtues is not limited to witty or derisive barbs; he employs a stratagem far more effective than merely satirizing them.
		Hafez, on the other hand, celebrates wine and inebriation both to honor a poetic tradition and to annoy the hypocrites and show them his abhorrence of their false piety.

	Hafez’s incomparable position in Iranian culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is due to Hafez’s mental acuity, his complete knowledge of Iranian history and traditions, and his dedication to presenting work that is both comprehensive and influential.
		Hafez used a language attractive to people from all walks of life with varied tastes and cultural backgrounds, which is quite unique not only in Iran but in other countries as well.
		Due to his mental acuity, Hafez perceived that many so-called religious movements that claimed to be on the path of mysticism were presenting an incorrect image of Islam and the deep-rooted Iranian-Islamic culture through ideas which, if widely disseminated, could have endangered not only the Iranian culture but also religious life.

		Hafez's rend is a composite of the Perfect Man of gnostic Sufism, the impoverished beggar in the road, the libertine, and the political rebel who refuses to bow the knee to hypocrisy and values imposed by force.

	Reviews of Hafez
		Hafez: Dance of Life is, for this reason, a difficult and, at the same time, an interesting subject.
		This is true representation of what Hafez really is; despite the purity of our motives or the purity of our love, his is a tangled, dense, multilayered, ambiguous verse drawing together all the cultural threads from which the Iranian experience is woven.
		Hafez: Dance of Life, is a moment in the dance that goes on in space between communities, where they approach by never quite touch, where the reaching out by both sides occurs, where our beliefs that there can be global understanding, peace, and love undergo a cruel testing.
