Fardid in his study addressed him as "Hakime Onsi" and with emphasis on specific ontology of Hafiz, which lies in the depth of Iranians' mentality, refers to Heidegger who is an existential thinker likewise with the advantage of his deep thoughts and analysis of thought current in the rest attempts to integrate the semantic richness of Hafiz's reflections with the extensive thoughts of Heidegger so that the people of our homeland can appropriately define one of the possible achievements of our cultural relations with the modern erea. The study indicates how Fardid through reading the major works of Heidegger like "the universe and time" or "what is metaphysics? translates and interprets them to the language and literature of Hafiz in order to open up novel views and perspectives.
