There is no way for a Persian to hear Shiraz’s name and doesn’t immediately think about Hafiz. To Persians, he is nothing less than a prophet. The prophet of love, art, and beauty inside. Hafiz is an inseparable item of any Persian celebration and ceremony such as Nowrouz and Yalda Night. He is one of the poetry geniuses from all times, whom Goethe, the great German poet, wished to be one of his disciples. The chances of not finding a Hafiz book in any Persian house are zero. Hafiz Shirazi is beloved among Iranians, and anyone, from children to the elderly enjoys reading his smart, beautiful, and involved poems.
The Tomb of Hafez of as Iranians call it Hafezieh, is located on the south of Quran Gate, and it is a complex of monuments. This area is one of the most crowded parts of Shiraz. The tomb is hidden from the main street: a symbol of prison for Hafiz’s mystical thoughts in the modern world. Another symbols that you can find in this complex are: the southern part of Hafezieh is the symbol of the material world, you have to pass this part and approach toward skies (nine stairs to the tomb as it indicates the number of skies in Persian literature), and finally see the sun (the tomb itself).
Quote
“In the Book of Life, my name is eternal. No one dies whose heart is on fire with Love.”
— Hafiz of Persia Fair maiden, make bright our cups with wine
Every year, on 22nd October, people show their respect to him on national Hafez day by his tomb, Hafezieh.
