Together, Hafez, a giant of world literature; Jahan Malek Khatun, an eloquent princess; and Obayd-e Zakani, a dissolute satirist, represent one of the most remarkable literary flowerings of any era. All three lived in the famed city of Shiraz, a provincial capital of south-central Iran, and all three drew support from arts-loving rulers during a time better known for its violence than its creative brilliance. Here Dick Davis, an award-winning poet widely considered "our finest translator of Persian poetry" (The Times Literary Supplement), presents a diverse selection of some of the best poems by these world-renowned authors and shows us the spiritual and secular aspects of love, in varieties embracing every aspect of the human heart.

About Hafez

A Persian poet who worked in the ghazal form, Khwaja Shams-ud-Din Muhammad Hafez (c. 1315–1390) lived nearly his whole life in Shiraz, in present-day Iran. The name Hafez, meaning one who has memorized the Quran, reflected the classical religious education he received; he lectured on Quranic and theological subjects and wrote commentaries on religious texts. A court poet, he held the patronage of several rulers of Shiraz, though he fell from favor around 1368–69 and did not regain his position until shortly before his death. His collected Divan has been translated and reprinted widely since.
