Download The Divan by Hafiz AudioBook Free
Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfiẓ-e Shīrāzī (1315-1390), more commonly known as Háfiz, was a lyric poet, who rates with Omar Khayyam and Rumi as a major figure in traditional Persian books. The compendious anthology of his poetry simply titled the Divan consists of several hundred odes, that this small selection was made by the translator. In the release Bicknell writes: For we should look upon Háfiz as one of the few poets on the globe who utters an unbroken strain of happiness and contentment. His poverty was to him a constant fountain of satisfaction, and he honestly needed the natural joys of life as they emerged, backed under every vicissitude by his religious sense of the goodness and kindliness of the One God, manifested in everything on the globe that was great and genial, and beautiful to behold. Háfiz, in the naturalness and spontaneity of his poetry, and in the earning sweetness of his imagery, occupies a distinctive place in the books of the world, and does not have any rival in his special area.
