Illuminated Persian Manuscript in Nasta'liq. Odes of Hafiz, short ghazal couplets form a collection under the name Diwan. Each ode of 5-16 couplets, last couplet rhyming the poets name (called the Maqta). Edward G. Browne, in Persian Literature under the Tartar Dominion, states, Many of [Hafiz's] odes are to be taken in a symbolic and mystical sense few will deny; that others celebrate a beauty not celestial and a wine not allegorical can hardly be questioned.
