Favorite bedside book these days. Hafiz has always had a very special place in my heart with those flamboyant hints of Shiraz and his equally incredible celestial metaphors. This translation is very smooth, less befogged than any other available translation in English. Also, this deluxe edition has explored Jahan Malek Khatun and Obayd-e-Zakani as well. There are some essays by Dick Davis in the start discussing poetic traditions. Also, this edition is very beautiful- even the pages are styled as an old age manuscript. Bought it with my first pay, super glad to have done it.
