A Lament for Hafiz al-Shirazi

This drawing is from the 1999 edition of the Bukāʾiyyah ilā Ḥāfiẓ al-Shīrāzī by ʿAbd al-Wahhab al-Bayātī, 1st ed. (Bayrūt: Dār al-Kunūz al-Adabiyyah).

The image was created by Muḥammad Tajwīdī, an Iranian artist. It was then copied by the Palestinian artist Bassām ʿAbd al-Salām Yūsuf.
