Khwāja Šams ud-Dīn Muhammad Hāfez-e Šīrāzī, or simply Hāfez (Persian: خواجه شمسالدین محمد حافظ شیرازی) was a Persian mystic and poet. He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz, Medieval Persia. His lyrical poems, known as 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. John Payne, who has translated the Diwan Hafez, regards Hafez as the greatest poet of the world.
The tomb of Hafez is located in the Musalla Gardens of Shiraz (referred to as Hafezieh). It is one of the major attractions of Shiraz.
