Learning and God are two themes present in Hafiz poetry. Hafiz was a life-long student, and it became his greatest joy, so it is no wonder that his poetry presents a view of life in which every single moment, occurrence and character is given to a person by God for the purpose of education. Hafiz encourages his readers to listen to every single speaking person around them as if they are speaking the words of God, so that people live with teachable spirits.
