description: Hafiz is honoured as the greatest lyric poet of Iran. The Shakespeare of Persian literature, and in this complete collection of his lyrical poetry the Divan-I Hafiz, we have without a doubt one of the world's greatest literary achievements. Translated here into English from the edition of Parviz Natil Khanlari. The primary aim has been to render the 486 poems as literally as possible while trying to convey some sense of the poetry to the reader who lacks knowledge of Persian. It is presented with extensive annotation by one of today's most eminent scholars of Persian literature.
