Hafez
Hafez, also known as Khwāja Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī, was a 14th-century Persian poet whose ghazals express profound themes of love, spirituality, and the human condition. Born in Shiraz, Iran, Hafez is celebrated for his mastery of the Persian language and his ability to weave intricate metaphors and layers of meaning into his poetry. His works have transcended time and culture, influencing not only Persian literature but also poets and writers worldwide. Revered as a national treasure in Iran, Hafez's poetry is often recited in social gatherings and is integral to Persian culture and identity. He is prominently featured in the newly established ' میدان مشاهیر' (Celebrities Square) in the Abbasabad Cultural and Artistic Complex, where his statue stands among other notable figures to honor the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
