Khwāja Šamsu d-Dīn Muḥammad Hāfez-e Šīrāzī, known as Hāfez , was a Persian mystic and poet. He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz in the Persian Empire (now Iran) around 50 years after the death of Rumi. He died in 1394 and buried in the same city of Shiraz.

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.
