Title
Wooden panel from a mausoleum, with verses by poet Hafez
Description
English: This large wooden panel inscribed with Persian poetry was most probably made during the Timurid period (ca. 1370–1507) in Iran. It features six verses of a ghazal, or lyrical poem, written by the Persian poet Hafiz (1325–90). Intricately carved, large-scale wooden panels such as this one would have served as wall fixtures, forming a calligraphic frieze that may have hung around a room. The text on this panel, which occupies its full surface, is written in the cursive thuluth script often used for monumental inscriptions. The panel is truncated on the left, indicating that the text would have continued on an adjoining fragment.
فارسی: بخش‌های غزلی از حافظ شیرازی:

بچشم و ابروی جانان سپرده‌ام دل و جان
درآ درآ و تماشای طاق و منظر کن
بگو بخازن جنة که خاک این مجلس
(به تحفه بر سوی فردوس و عود مجمر کن)
(فضول نفس حکایت بسی کند ساقی)
تو کار خود مده از دست و می بساغر کن
پس از ملازمت عیش و عشق مهرویان

ز کارها که کنی شعر حافظ از بر کن
