Khwajeh Shams al-Din Muhammad Hafez-e Shirazi (also spelled Hafiz) (????? ????????? ???? ???? ?????? in Persian) was a Persian mystic and poet. He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz, Persia (Iran), son of a certain Baha-ud-Din. His lyrical poems, ghazals are noted for their beauty and bring to fruition the love, mysticism, and early Sufi themes that had long pervaded Persian poetry. Moreover, his poetry possessed elements of modern surrealism.[1]

   A sample of his poems:

...I said hail to that fresh air
   That the morning breeze may share
   Cool is that breeze, you declare
   With beloved's air may blend.


   The dancing of the cypress, and the rapture of the rose,
   Without the nightingale's song is not pleasant.

   ?? ??? ????? ????????
   ?????? ? ???? ??? ?????

   With the beloved, sugar of lip, rose of body,
   Without kiss and embrace is not pleasant.
