Compare the poetry of Rumi and Hafez.

Rumi and Hafez were essential poets, Sufis and philosophers in twelve century. Both poets had written tremendous amount of poetry on love and freedom. Both poets had different perception of love. Rumi philosophy of love was based on his life while Hafez was more on religious and divine. Both poets’ poems of love and freedom were based on comparing and contrasting the metaphor with personal life. After reading the Rumi’s poem I have realized that his view on love was very straightforward and open-minded. On the other hand, Hafez philosophies on love were mostly religious and used wine as a symbol.
