Hâfız-ı Şîrâzî, a poet from Iran, occupied an important place in the literature of Iran. The effect of Hâfız on Iranian literatureand society still continues today. The purpose of this study is to determine the values which are a product of the social structureof its period transmitted by a literary work, which still maintains its relevance today. Given that literary works reflect the socialstructure of the period when they were written and which imbue society with emotions, ideas and behaviors, the values in Hâfız’sdivan were identified and which values were repeated more than the others were determine. In this way, it was intended to reachpreliminary information about the value system of the Iranian society and the origins of this system. The method of the study istext analysis and its technique is content analysis. The values in Hâfız’s Divan were determined using the text analysis and contentanalysis and how many times these values were repeated was investigated. It was hypothesized that repeat numbers were intendedto indicate value and emphasized importance. In addition to the quantitative analysis of the values in Hâfız’s Divan, the valuesadopted by students at Shiraz University Department of Persian Language and Literature who were required to read Hâfız’sDivan frequently, were examined. The purpose here was to determine whether or not the students of Persian Language wereinfluenced by the values treated in Hâfız’s Divan. The present study was completed in a period of 6 (six) months in the city ofShiraz in İran, where Hâfız lived, between 24th September 2018 and 24th March 2019. The scope of the study covers Hâfız’sDivan and the social values in the Divan. To this end, Persian and Turkish versions of Hâfız’s divan were examinedcomparatively. In addition, interviews were held and the topic was discussed at the Center for Hafiz Studies, where courses wereoffered on Hafiz and his works were kept alive. The interviewees contributed to interpretation of values in Hâfız’s couplets. Thestudy is limited to Hâfız’s Divan and social values. The most frequently repeated values in Hâfız’s Divan are “religiosity” and“fidelity”. It could be said that the values of self-consciousness and honesty reflect the period when Hâfız lived, and the socialconditions or characteristics of that period. Though repeated less than these values, repetition of the values of competition,pleasure, being carefree, accomplishment, an exciting life, individuality, freedom, equality, being a consumer/consumerism andworld peace indicates that these values did not emerge today but rather that they also existed in the period when Hâfız lived. This situation makes it necessary that values need to be categorized definitely in value studies. The fact that past societies alsopossessed these values and transmitted them through literature lead us to think that today’s societies could adopt these valuesmore easily. In this respect, these values enjoy higher recognition in the Iranian society of today are attached more importance.
