TEHRAN – A versified Arabic translation of the Divan of Hafez has been recently published in Tehran.

Published by Avaye Khavar Publications, the book has been translated into Arabic by Nader Nezam-Tehrani, an Iranian expert on the Arabic language. 

Shamsoddin Mohammad, known as Hafez, was born in Shiraz. His divan contains more than 500 poems, commonly known as ghazals, a poetic form which he brought to perfection.

Hafez is greatly admired not only in Iran but also throughout the world.
