investigation into Hafez's restless existence. He blocked

all the roads, constantly denied the status quo, until the
situation improved. There was no fence left and he did
not confine himself to any thought. He always preferred
free thought and perfection to stagnation, cessation and
decay, and finally gained access to heavenly and blue
love. He proved that free thought is the source of all
moral virtues and virtues. He was talking to his
heavenly lover. Here, Hafez turns to the earthly lover
and says after my death, when you come to my grave,
be drunk and lyricist, Do not be without wine and
music.

THEME:
The major themes of his Ghazal are love, the
celebration of wine and intoxication, and exposing the
hypocrisy of those who have set themselves up as
guardians, Judges, and examples of moral rectitude.

Summary:
The first line he talk about that the moment he reach
your carpenter, he will offer my life as evangelists and

he will go to my original place which is heaven and

hang and leave this mortal world. Hafez means that he
have no desire but to see you.
The second line talk I swear to your friend that if you
call me your slave, I will give up everything I have at
that moment, even if I am the server of the world, and I
will come to you.
The third line try to talk Oh God, before I say goodbye
to you like a dusty mortal and rush to you, show me this
love and make me meet the king.

The rain causes the soil to flower and the dust particles
to stay in place and not go to the sky, and Hafiz asks
God to give him life until the king comes so that he can
see the king. And in the last lines shows that the brave
king was paralyzed due to gout and its severity and the
sages forbade him to ride a horse, and that is that he
had to move while lying down, and in this regard, Hafiz
He says, "Get up and please us with your sweet
movements. If you do so, we will give up everything we

have because of this movement of yours." We dedicate

our lives to your health.then Hafez is talking to the king
and asks the king to come to his bed before his death
so that he can see him only for a moment and then die
and turn a blind eye to the material world. The soul
and the world are extra puns. Give yourself a respite,
that is, as much as one breath…As we said in the
introduction of the sonnet, the sonnet is a kind of
consolation that Hafez gives to the king.

Figure of language (technique)

These figurative speech elements are common literary

devices employed in Hafiz’s poetry. Two literary
elements, apostrophe and simile were discussed briefly.
As the focus of this study is on metaphor, metaphor
does is to add a new sense or meaning to a singular
word or concept as indicated.
