A card on Hafez: a Safavid painting from his divan, one of his couplets and the start of his articleToday: the day of Rumi, the opening lines of the Masnavi, and the verse of the dayThe word sheet for ماه (moon): its meanings from Wiktionary and the word in another couplet by HafezA ghazal from Hafez’s divan, set like a manuscript pageA white-eared bulbul by Reza Abbasi, mounted like an album pageToday’s bridge, from Hafez to the MoonThree doors after a card: Khayyam, Goethe and ShirazA couplet made into a poster, in the manuscript styleThe Treasury with saved couplets, a journey and articles

Seyr (سیر) means wandering, a journey. Each journey is seven cards, and after every card you choose one of three doors to decide where to go next, or let Seyr choose. Seven cards later you might have travelled from Hafez to the Moon, and the journey ends with one question: what connects the two?

Every day brings a calm page of its own: the day’s occasion, the picture of the day, and a bridge to cross from one article to another. Tap a word in any verse to see what it means and where else it appears, open Hafez’s divan, and keep what you love in the Treasury.

It reads from the public Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wiktionary, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons APIs, with no account and no servers of its own.
