The poems in this collection are translated into English by Gertrude Lowthian Bell, a British writer and adventurer who was known for her travels in the Middle East and her translations of Persian literature. Bell's translations aim to capture the beauty and meaning of Hafiz's original Persian poetry, while also making it accessible to English-speaking readers.The poems in Ghazels From The Divan Of Hafiz cover a wide range of themes, including love, spirituality, and the beauty of nature. Hafiz's poetry is known for its use of metaphor and symbolism, and his ghazals often explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
