TO HAFIZ OF SH IRAZ
Poem s from the Divan of Hafiz
Thus said the Poet: "When Death comes to you,All ye whose life-sand through the hour-glass slips,
He lays two fingers on your ears, and twoUpon your eyes he lays, one on your lips,Wh ispering: Silenee!" Although deafth ine ea r,Th ine eye, my Hafiz, suffe r Time's eel ipse,
The songs thou sangest still all men may hear.Songs of dead laughter, songs of love once hot,Songs of a cup once flushed rose-red with wine,Songs of a rose whose beauty is forgot,A nightingale that piped hushed lays divine:And still a graver music runs beneathThe tender love notes ofthose songs ofthine,
Oh, Seeker of the keys of Life and Death!
While thou wert singing, the soft summer windThat o'er Mosalla's garden blew, the stream
Of Ruknabad flowing where roses twined,Carried thy voice farther than thou could'st dream.
To Isfahan and Baghdad's Tartar horde,O'er waste and sea to Yezd and distant Ind;
Yea, to the sun-setting they bore thy word.
Behold we laugh, we warm us at Love's fire,We thirst and scarce dare tell what wine we crave,We lift au r voices in Grief's dark-robed choir;
Sing thou the wisdom joy and sorrow gave!If my poor rhymes held aught ofthe heart's lore,Fresh wreaths were theirs to lay upon thy grave-
Master and Poet, all was thine before!

INTRODUCTION
SHE SUDDIN MAHOMMAD, better known by his poetical surname ofHaf z, was born in Shiraz in the early part of the fourteenth century. 1
His names, being interpreted, signify the Sun of the Faith, thePraisewo hy, and One who can recite the Koran; he is further known to hiscompatri ts under the titles of the Tongue of the Hidden and the Interpre-
ter of Se rets. The better part of his life was spent in Shiraz, and he died in
that city owards the close of the century. The exact date either of his birthor of his eath is unknown. He fell upon turbulent times. His delicate love-
songs we e chanted to the rude accompaniment of the clash of arms, andhis drea s must have been interrupted often enough by the nip of faminein a bele guered town, the inrush of conquerors, and the flight of thedefeated.
The hist in the fourteenth century is exceedingly confused.
Beyond succession of wars and turmoils, there is little to be learntconcerni g the political conditions under which Hafiz lived. Fifty yearsbefore th birth of the poet, Hulagu, a gra ndson of the great Ta rta r invade rChinghis han, had conquered Baghdad, putting to death the last of theAbbaside Khalifs and extinguishing the direct line of the race that had ruledover Per ia since 750. For the next 200 years there is indeed a branch ofthe famil of Abbas living in Cairo, members of which were set up as Khalifsby the amluk Sultans of Egypt; but they were destitute of any real
authority and their position was that of dependants in the Mamluk court.
The sons and grandsons of Hulagu succeeded him as lords of Persia andMesopot mia, paying a nominal allegiance to the Great Khan of theMongols n Cambalec or Pekin, but for all practical purposes independent,and the iffe rent provinces of their em pire we re admin istered by gove r-
nors in th ir name. About the time of the birth of Hafiz, that is to say in the

Hamme r; Defrern eryin the Jou nal Asiatique for 1858; Sir Gore Ouseley and Daulat Shah, whose work ismainly a s ring of anecdote-I have been told that Lutfallah's is little better.

beginning of the fourteenth century, a certain wasgoverning the province of Fars, of which Shiraz is the capital, in the name ofAbu Said, the last of the direct desce nda nts of Hulagu. 0 n the eath of
Mahmud Shah, Abu Said appointed Sheikh Hussein ibn Juban to thegovernorship of Fars, a lucrative and much-coveted post. Sheikh Hussein
took the precaution of ordering the three sons of Mahmud Sh h to beseized and imprisoned; but while they were passing through the s reets ofShiraz in the hands of their captors, their mother, who accompani d them,lifted he r ve il and made a touch i ng appea I to the people, ca lIing up n the mto remember the benefits they had received from their late r ler, thefather of the three boys. Her words took instant effect; the inhabitants
rose, released her and her sons, and drove Sheikh Hussein into e ile. He,however, returned with an army supplied by Abu Said, and induc d Shirazto submit again to his rule. In 1335, a year or two after these eve ts, AbuSaid died, and the power of the house of Hulagu crumbled awa . Therefollowed a long period of anarchy, which was brought to an e d whenOwe is, another descenda nt of Hulagu, seized the th rone. He and his sonAhmed reigned in Baghdad until Ahmed was driven out by the nvadingarmy of Timur. But during the years of anarchy the authority of th Sultan
of Baghdad had been considerably curtailed. On Abu Said's de th, Abulshac, one of the three sons of Mahmud Shah Inju who had so arrowlyescaped from the hands of Sheikh Hussein, took possession of Shiraz andIsfahan, finally ousting his old enemy, while Mahommad ibn Muza ar, whohad earned a name for valour in the service of Abu Said, made himselfmaster of Yezd.
From this time onward the governors of the Persian provinces eem to
have given a nominal allegiance now to the Sultan of Baghdad, no to themore distant Khalif. The position of Shiraz between Baghdad a d Cairomust have resembled that of Venice between Rome and Constaand, like Venice, she was obedient to neither lord.
Abu Ishac had not steered his bark into quiet waters. In 1340 Sh raz wasbesieged and taken by a rival Atabeg, and the son of Mahmud S ah wasobliged to content himself with Isfahan. But in the following ear he
returned, captured Shiraz by a stratagem, and again established himself asruler over all Fars. The remaining years of his reign are chiefly ccupiedwith m ilita ry exped itions aga inst Yezd, whe re Ma hommad ibn uzaffa rand his sons were building up a formidable power. In 1352, deter ined to
put an end to these attacks, Mahommad marched into Fars and I

to Shiraz. Abu lshac, whose life was one of perpetual dissipation, red ubledhis orgies in the face of danger. Uncertain of the fidelity of the pe pie ofShiraz, he put to death all the inhabitants of two quarters of the to n, and
contemplated insuring himself of a third quarter in a similar mann r. Butthese measures did not lead to the desired results. The chief of theth reatened qua rter got wind of the King's design, and del ive red up t e keysof his gate to Shah Shudja, son of Mahommad ibn Muzaffar, and Ab Ishacwas obliged to seek refuge a second time in Isfahan. Four years I ter, in1357, he was given up to Mahommad, who sent him to Shiraz and, with afine sense of dramatic fitness, had him beheaded in an open space beforethe ruins of Persepolis.
The Arab traveller Ibn Batuta, who visited Shiraz between the yea s 1340and 1350, has left a description of its ru Ier: "Abu lshac," says he, "is one ofthe best Sultans that can be found" (it must be confessed that the verage
of Sultans was not very high in Ibn Batuta's time); "he is fair f face,imposing of presence, and his conduct is no less to be admired. His ind isgenerous, his character remarkable, and he is modest although his p wer isgreat and his territories extensive. His army exceeds the number of 30,000
men, Turks and Persians. The most faithful of his subjects are the inhabi-tants of Isfahan; but he fears the Shirazis, who are a brave people, not tobe controlled by kings, a nd he will not trust them with arms." 1 Th is iew ofhis relations with the two towns tallies with Abu Ishac's subsequent istory,and points to a considerable power of observation on the part of IbnBatuta. But he relates a tale which would seem to show that Abu Is ac wasnot unpopular even in Shiraz: on a certain occasion he wished to uild agreat gate in that city, and hearing of his desire the inhabitants vi d with
each other in their eagerness to satisfy it; men of all ranks turned 0 t to dothe work, putting on their best clothes and digging the foundatio s withspades of silver. Abu Ishac shared the passion of the age for lette s, andwas anxious to be accounted a rival to the King of Delhi in his gener sity tomen of learning; "but," sighs Ibn Batuta, "how far is the earth removedfrom the Pleiades!" The Persian historian who describes Abu Ishac's
execution, quotes a quatrain which the Atabeg is supposed to have rittenwhile he was in prison:
"Lay down th ine arms whe n Fortu ne is thy foe,'Gainst Heaven's wheel, Wrestler, try not a throw

Poem s from th Divan of Hafiz
Orin k steadf stly the cup whose name is Death,Empty the dr gs upon the earth, and go."
So perished the first patron of Hafiz.
From 1353 t 1393, when Timur conquered Shiraz for the second and lasttime, the gr ater part of Persia was ruled by members of the house ofMuzaffar. Sc rcelya year passed undisturbed by civil war, scarcely a year inwhich one 0 the sons or grandsons of Mahommad did not suffer impri-sonment or orse ills at the hands of his brothers. Mahommad himself wasthe first to all. Shah Shudja seized his father while he was reading the
Koran aloud ith a poet of his court, and caused him to be blinded. A fewyears later t e grim life beat itself out against the prison walls of Ka'iah-i-Safid. "With ut just ca use," sings Hafiz, "the victor of victors suffered
imprisonme t; guiltless, the mightiest head was laid low. He had overcomeShiraz and T briz and Irak; at the last his own hour came. He who, in theeyes of the orld, was the Iight he had ki nd led (i.e. Ma hommad IS son, Shah
Shudja), thr ugh those eyes which had gazed victorious upon the world,th rust the ho iron." A stern and pitiless man was th is Ma hom mad, brave in
battle, wise in council, ardent in religion, but hard and cruel beyondmeasure, a p rfidious friend and a relentless enemy. The Persian historian,Lutfallah, rei tes that on several occasions he had seen criminals broughtbefore Mah mmad while the Amir was engaged in reading the Koran.Laying the b ok aside, he would draw his sword and kill the offenders asthey stood, nd then return unmoved to his devotions. Shah Shudja onceasked his fat er whethe r he had killed 1000 men with his own ha nd. "No,"
replied Mah mmad, "but I think that the number of them that I have slain
After his dea h, Shah Shudja reigned in Shiraz, and his brother Shah Yahyain Yezd. Sha Shudia was a man of like energy with his father, but it was anenergy direc ed into different channels; the stern religious ardour of theelder man w s changed into a spirit of frenzied dissipation in the younger.Whenever h was not engaged in conducting expeditions against hisbrothers and nephews, he was taking part in. the wildest orgies in Shiraz.
He was scar ely less cru el tha n Mah ommad. In a fit of d ru nken ness heordered one of his own sons to be blinded, and though, at the instance ofhis vizir, he r pented and sent a second messenger hot foot after the first,it was alrea y too late to save the boy.
