Hafiz, The Tongue Of The Hidden is a book written by Clarence K. Streit, which aims to bring the spirit of the Persian poet Hafiz into the English language. The book is a translation of Hafiz's Rubaiyat, a collection of poems that are known for their mystical and spiritual themes.

The book includes an introduction that provides context for Hafiz's life and work, as well as a brief overview of Persian poetry. The poems themselves are organized thematically, with each section focusing on a different aspect of Hafiz's philosophy. The book also includes a glossary of Persian terms and a bibliography for further reading.
