About Hafez
Hafez, whose full name is Shams-ud-Din Muhammad Hafez, was a 14th-century Persian poet renowned for his mystical and lyrically beautiful poetry. Born in Shiraz, Iran, Hafez is often referred to as the “Tongue of the Hidden” due to his ability to convey deep spiritual and philosophical insights through his verses. His poetry, collected in the Divan-e-Hafez, remains an enduring treasure of Persian literature and Sufi mysticism. Hafez’s works explore themes of love, spirituality, fate, and the human condition, and his ghazals (lyric poems) continue to inspire and resonate with people around the world, transcending time and culture. His verses are celebrated for their profound wisdom and the way they capture the essence of human emotions and the divine in a unique and enchanting manner.

- Changed SELECT * to SELECT content in all poem database queries to minimise data exposure
- Added per-IP rate limiting (30 requests per 60 seconds) to the public AJAX endpoint using WordPress transients to prevent database spam
- Removed debug error_log(json_encode($content)) call that was leaking poem data to the server error log
