Hafiz has been called “the master of the erotic ghazal,” and much of the sexuality in his work is homoerotic. Hafiz’ ghazals are infused with same-sex mysticism that startles many Western minds because of the expression of male-male love as not only approaching but actually reaching a state of divinity. Hafiz believes one can see an image of the creator in the face of one’s beloved.
