چکیده:
This study is accomplished in order to find out whether the following piece of verse can be
considered as the sign of Mahdaviyyat in Hafiz’s worldview:
‘Before the cavalry of his fancy, the black and the white of my eye, I sent;
in the hope that the imperial horse rider might come back.’
(Hafiz Diwan ed. Ghani& Ghazvini 235/2. )
The authors hypothesize that Hafiz has reflected a prospective climate in the aforementioned
ghazal (lyric) and taking his life and other allusions in his Diwan into consideration, it could at
least be said that there are views which can be counted as to be in accordance with Mahdaviyyat
philosophy. It also shows that Hafiz had been acquainted with Morabete (stationing), which is an
old Islamic tradition being stressed by Holy Prophet and Shia Imams. Using descriptive-analytic
approach, this study is about to analyze this tradition from the point of view of Quran and Islamic
narrations. The findings of this study can play a basic role in true analysis of this ghazal, tracing
Hafiz’s belief in Mahdaviyyat vision, and in the definition of Morabete (stationing).

Considering this possibility of making different interpretations of Hafiz’s poems, this study is about to analyze the existence of Mahdaviyyat vision and the related custom of Morabete (stationing) in his worldview based on the following couplet: ‘Before the cavalry of his fancy, the black and the white of my eye, I sent; in the hope that the imperial horse rider might come back.
custom of Morabete while interpreting this ghazal; but it can be said that almost all of them agree that considering this ghazal and especially its second couplet, Hafiz is eagerly awaiting for a dear person who is away and hopes him to come back from his journey and he metaphorically sends his eyes as a black and white horse to escort him.
