شیراز
/ shirâz /
proper-noun · Shiraz
Meaning
معنی۱
Shirazis are stereotyped across Iran as gentle, slow-paced, and devoted to شعر و گل و بلبل (poetry, flowers, and nightingales). The Shirazi dialect has its own soft cadence. On Yalda night and at Nowruz, families across Iran open the دیوان حافظ (Hafez's collected poems) and ask the book questions, a fortune-telling ritual called فال حافظ. The city smells of orange blossom in spring.
