Abstract

None of Hafez's terms have generated as much discussion as Rand. As can be seen, no term has been as clear and undemanding to research as Rand in the view of researchers of Hafez's language and thought. It seems difficult to judge this issue, because sometimes some well-known and accurate researchers have also followed the same path and have, at best, been content with their own knowledge and understanding and have considered themselves to be free from referring to Persian dictionaries. With profound and remarkable accuracy, it is clear in Hafez's poetry that the concept of Rand rarely appears alone in Hafez's poetry. Rand, in the view of Hafez Shirazi, has always been synonymous with love, intoxication, and ardent love. The concepts of Rand, a marketer, and a careless, infamous person, as the most inferior and base of beings, that is, someone who is not bound by any religion, ideology, or morality, appear only twice in Hafez's poetry, and strangely enough, he has attributed them to himself both times. This research, which was conducted using the method of description and analysis and by studying and reviewing library sources, examines Rand's positive and negative traits from his perspective and analyzes the relative self and relative other of this world-shattering Rand regarding these positive and negative traits. which shows the humility and humility of this pious and profound poet and shows Hafez to be of good character, moral, and free.
