Literary Heritage

شعر حافظ همه بیت الغزل معرفت است / آفرین بر نفس دلسوز و لطف سخنش

/Sheʿr-e Ḥāfeẓ hame bayt al-ghazal-e maʿrefat ast / Āfarīn bar nafas-e delsuz o loṭf-e sokhanash/

All of Hafez's poetry is the finest verse of gnosis; blessed is his compassionate breath and the grace of his words.
