Hafezieh!

 

Iran/Shiraz, Hafezieh!

Hafez was a Persian poet. His collected works are regarded by many Iranians as a pinnacle of Persian literature and are often found in the homes of people in the Persian-speaking world, who learn his poems by heart and still use them as proverbs and sayings. 

Many Iranian composers have composed pieces inspired by or based upon Hafez's poems and many Iranian singers have performed on several poems such as master Mohammad-Reza Shajarian.

His current mausoleum, the Hafezieh, was designed by André Godard, a French archaeologist and architect, in the late 1930s, and the tomb is raised up on a dais amidst rose gardens, water channels, and sour orange trees in Shiraz.

October 12th is the national day of Hafez in Iranian calendar.
