This file photo shows a group of Iranian young adults visiting Hafezieh, the tomb of the Persian poet Hafez in his hometown Shiraz.

The 20th of Mehr on the Iranian calendar, which falls on October 12 this year, is celebrated annually as Hafez Day. 

Hafez is most famous for his divan, and among the many partial English translations of this work are those by Gertrude Bell and H. Wilberforce Clarke. (Tehran Times/Bahman Vakhshour)
