Learn Persian with Trying Conversation.

Payot Mn Nassim by Hoffez with Batit Chafinuri.

Hi, Layla John.

Salam Parade, John.

Thank you for joining me today.

It's good to be here.

Yeah, we haven't done a poetry episode in a long time.

This is the first of many, many that we're planning to record in the near future.

So this is a poet that is one of the most famous, or the most famous Iranian poet, is the reason that a lot of people even learn

the Persian language to begin with. A lot of the reason people fall in love in the Persian

language and listen to music in the Persian language. And somehow we have neglected to cover this poet until now.

So if you can introduce what our poet is and take it from there.

And rightfully so, I believe Hafez should have been left at a riper time

and the progression of our lovely students around the world.

Because Hafez, as you know, it's not as straightforward as

Rumi would be. Rumi, for example, straight from the heart, lands in the heart.

Alfez is a bit of a word magician that can really hit all levels of society as he is still

talking about love, but it's talking about all the different levels of what a society is going

through and during. Right. But he does permeate every single bit of Iranian culture. So you'll hear

Hafez all the time. You'll hear Faulah Hafez all the time. What is Faulah Hafiz?

Faulah Hafiz is a tradition, as you know, especially around Noruze and Yaldah, which is a winter solstice in the spring equinox.

We use Hafez to go and get answers for our woes and tribulations throughout life.
