in the Persian tradition, whenever one faces a difficulty
or a fork in the road, Or even if one has a general
question in mind, one would hold that question in mind,
and then ask the Oracle of ShirazHafizfor guidance.
More often than not,Hafiz, in his own enigmatic way would sing to the
questioner and through the song, would get the
questioner to look in the mirror of his/her soul.Upon reflection in the mirror of Hafiz's Ghazal one
would be inspired with an answer, a guidance or a
direction.
Traditionally, the first line upon which the eyes of the reader fall,
would give the answer to the direct question, and the
rest of the Ghazal would give further clarification.
