Hafez, who was a 14th-century poet in Iran, is best known for his poems that can be described as "antinomian".
Themes of his poems are the beloved, faith, and exposing hypocrisy. In his poems, he deals with love, wine and tavern, all presenting the ecstacy and freedom from restraint, whether in actual worldly release or in the voice of the lover speaking of divine love.
His influence in the lives of Persian speakers can be found in "Hafez readings" (fāl-e hāfez, Persian: فال حافظ) and the frequent use of his poems in Persian traditional music, visual art, and Persian calligraphy.
