Shahaboddin Morvarid, along with Hesamoddin, has written the address based on his delicate nature in the form of the quatrain, and in the introduction to Divan1 of , he has called Hafez "Lassan al-Ghib" for the first time.

Keywords: Hessamoddin khoei; shahaboddin morvarid; divan of hafez and morvarid.
