Message from the Director of the Lorestan Studies Center, University of Lorestan: Hafez is the epitome of the wise Iranian.

Every year, on the 20th of Mehr, the commemoration of Hafez is held. On this occasion, Dr. Ali Nouri, Director of the Lorestan Studies Center of Lorestan University and Professor of Persian Language and Literature at the Faculty of Literature and Humanities of Lorestan University, commemorated this day in a message.

The text of Dr. Ali Nouri's note is as follows:

In the name of the Lord of soul and wisdom, beyond whom thought cannot pass.

Of the world's Hafez, none like me has gathered the subtleties of wisdom with Quranic nuances.

Hafez is the epitome and essence of the wise Iranian.

A Muslim Iranian who, by combining the subtleties of Iranian illuminative wisdom and the subtleties of the luminous meanings and concepts of the Quran, has been able to achieve a brilliant and precise anthropology.

Hafez's anthropology is situated in a moderate point and is based on the moderation of all human powers and capacities; for this reason, his audience's field has surpassed his own time and creates a vast circle that encompasses the people of all eras; as "the Muslim washes in Zamzam and the Hindu burns," and it has expanded from the space and geography of Iran and has encompassed the entire earth; rather, as he himself says, the inhabitants of the heavens also have their hearts set on his poetry:

"The angels, it seems, memorize Hafez's poetry."

Commemorating the name of Hafez is commemorating the status of man and humanity; because his poetry is a healing remedy for the treatment of hatreds, humiliations, wars, and disputes, and a guide to peace, tranquility, and the exaltation and perfection of humankind:

The strings of seventy-two nations, he excuses them all, for when they did not see the truth, they resorted to fables.

And his universal message to humanity is love for humankind and letting go of clinging and destructive attachments:

Come, for the palace of hope is built on a fragile foundation; bring wine, for the foundation of life is on the wind.

I am a servant of the resolve that, beneath the azure sky, is free from all attachments.
