 

In the above Ghazal
Hafez mentions that he saw “Noure Khoda” or light of God, in the
“kharabat- e-Moqan”. Our research shows that “kharabat- e-Moqan”,
as Shahriar Shahriari translates it to the
“Tavern of the Magi”, is the
ancient city of Ray near
Tehran, Iran. It is amazing to realize that Bahá’u’lláh, which
is an Arabic word, would be “Noure Khoda” when translated into
Persian. Bahá’u’lláh was from the city of Noure in Iran and
received His revelation or light of God “Noure Khoda” in the
dungeon of Siachal-e-Tehran near the ruins of city of Ray.
More amazing is that Hafiz, who was born in the early 1300’s,
saw Noure Khoda while he was in Shiraz. |
