Find yourself a native Persian speaker for this part. The internet is full of fake Hafez translations. If you don’t have ‘Divan Hafez‘ or you don’t want to translate on the spot, we’ve got your back. Check out these Hafez Divination Cards we have made specially for this night.

Get dinner ready
شام
Usually, lots of tasty snacks are served instead of a large sit down dinner. The King of all Soups: the Persian Aush or green, baked Persian omelet, Kuku Sabzi are traditional. For dessert, you can slap a bunch of the pomegranate seeds, which you painfully extracted earlier, on a store-bought cheesecake.
