	Iran News - Researcher condemns bogus Hafez Poetry
		Servatyan said that even the poem inscribed on Hafez?s tombstone was not penned by him and those against the poet?s mysticism have attributed this to the great Iranian poet.
		He recalled that at a conference on Hafez Studies in Shiraz, a lecturer had expressed concern about the publication of an English version of Hafez?s poetry in the US several years ago which sold several million copies.
		This was a completely distorted version which had nothing to do with Hafez?s works, he said calling on the government to set up a center to monitor interpretations of poetry by great Iranian poets.

	Iransaga - Hafez, Classic Persian Poet
		As far as Hafez's poetry is concerned, although he was initially declared a heretic, he was soon to be acknowledged as the leading master of lyrical poetry with the brilliance, energy and originality of his poems shining through.
		Hafez's mausoleum is to this day one of the most important monuments in Shiraz, and is frequented by many visitors, who like to open there the poet's divan to find out what the future may hold.
		Little is known about Hafez's life; however, through his poetry we can deduce that he was married and had lost both his wife and a son.

	Shams al-Din Hafez Shirazi, The Greatest Poet of Persia
		Hafez found in the ghazal a well-developed art-form; it had been an instrument of many famous poets, each of whom had contributed in his turn something towards its evolution.
		Hafez is by universal consent the supreme master of the art of the Persian ghazal, a literary form generally equated with the lyric; though perhaps the sonnet is in some respects a closer equivalent.
		What Hafez did was rather to isolate this element from the mass of related and unrelated matter in which he found it embedded, and to put it forward as the focal point from which all theory, and all experience too, radiated.

	A Vintage Twist for Iran's Classical Poets - Worldpress.org
		Regardless of how Hafez can be interpreted, the educational curriculum in Iran appears to be giving one particular angle by alluding to Sufi symbolism, and in the case of Khayyam, focusing on his nonpoetic work.
		The 14th-century poet Hafez is considered one of Persia's greatest, held in as high regard in Iran as Shakespeare is in the English-speaking world.
		Ultimately, Hafez and Khayyam are too popular and too entrenched historically and in modern times, to face the full force of the censor's pen - despite some of their religiously satirical material.

	Poetry Daily Prose Feature: Dick Davis, "On Not Translating Hafez"
		I was very pleased to be asked, since Hafez (he flourished in the mid-fourteenth century) is pretty universally regarded as the greatest of Persian lyric poets, and to produce versions of his poems seemed a serious challenge worthy of serious effort.
		Certainly, in Persian literature, the example of Hafez, and of the numerous poor poet-translators who metaphorically lie bleeding at his feet, would seem to bear this out.
		And this is why the poets who seem to develop a poetry’s capabilities most tellingly, who seem to their linguistic communities to be the most “poetic” of all, are often precisely those whom it is most difficult to bring over into another language.

	Seminar commemorating Hafez in Tashkent - Irna
		A seminar commemorating the prominent 8th century Iranian poet Khajeh Shamseddin Mohammad Hafez Shirazi was held at Orientology University in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent on Monday.

	Shamlu, Ahmad -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The great masters of the Persian language—Ferdowsi, Nezami, Hafez, Jami, and Rumi—continue to inspire Iranian authors in the modern era, although publication and distribution of many classical works—deemed licentious by conservative clerics—have been difficult.
		In 2000 the Persian-speaking world lost several important figures, notably prominent exiled poet Nader Naderpur; Ahmad Shamlu, the leading Iranian poet living in Iran; Feraydun Moshiri, a poet with popular appeal; and Hushang Golshiri, the most influential novelist and short-story writer of his generation.
		Iranian culture is perhaps best known for its literature, which emerged in its current form in the 9th century.

		Manifest in "Fantasy" is a mixture of Hafez's mystical lyricism, Nezami's dramatic observation of life, Khayyam's half epicurean, half fatalistic world view, the French Romantics' preoccupation with self and social justice, and the Symbolists' suggestive expression through metaphors and symbols.
		This was how Nima became so fascinated with Nezami and Hafez and remained an ardent admirer of their work, all his life.
		But its subject, a romantic dialogue between a "lover" and "Fantasy", in which the poet has expressed his emotional experience of love, and his idealistic interpretation of life, was at the time of its publication (1921) new enough in Persian poetry to be considered "Modern".
