Hafez Sherazi was a great persian poet of Ghazal. His name was
Muhammad, surname, Shams-ul-Din and nom de plume was Hafez, as he had
memorized the Holy Quran by heart. His grandfather was an inhabitant of " Sarkan" a
suburb of Isfahan city. Later on, he shifted to Sheraz in the period of "Atabkan" and
settled down there. The occupation of his father was trade and his family was also
distinguished in knowledge and piety. According to various researchers, Hafez was
born in 726 A.H and died in 791 A.H at the age of sixty five. Although there is no
match of Hafez in Persian mystic Ghazal, but after research it has been proved that his
Ghazal is not less than anyone else regarding ethical teachings. In this article, the same
topic has been discussed.
