summary: Translator's notes explain obscure Hafiz stanzas by identifying Sidreh
and Tuba as trees in Paradise, describing Tuba's vast miraculous provision, interpreting
wine-lovers as Sufis, noting an allusion to Adam's expulsion from Eden, and citing
a tradition that Last Judgment includes seven degrees of punishment and eight
of blessedness because divine mercy exceeds justice.
