Abstract
The influential factors in the aesthetics of Persian literature are divided into two
parts, verbal and spiritual factors. In the spiritual part, one of the tools of astrology is
boasting. Although boasting is normally a condemned trait, in the language of poetry
and literature, which is the arena of poetic imaginations and rivalries, this trait is
considered one of the virtues. For this reason, since the beginning of Persian poetry,
boasting has been seen in various ways in the works of poets. The content of such
bragging is also different. In other words, sometimes pride is based on quality,
sometimes it is based on lineage, etc. One of the poets who entered this field and used
this tool to make his poems more beautiful is Khwaja Shamsuddin Muhammad Hafez
Shirazi, a poet of the 8th century. He has boasted through various things; Among them:
pride in his speech, pride in his non-attachment to the world and the past, pride in the
wisdom of his poems, pride in God's favor towards him, pride in the universality of his
poems, etc. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine some of Hafez's
praises, especially in the field of speech.
