The connection of several of Hafez's poems with each other is significant. Analyzing the elements of these links can sometimes lead to a more accurate understanding of Hafez's poetry. Reflecting on the intertextual relations of Diwan Hafez provides us with valuable information about the events of his life and some influential figures in those events. One of those praised by Hafez is Khwaja Jalaluddin Turan Shah, the famous vizier of Shah Shuja' Mozaffari. The analysis of the poems related to him in Hafez's Diwan shows that there was a close relationship between him and Hafez. During the times when Hafez's relationship with Shah Shoja and his court was in crisis, Turan Shah tried to improve things in the role of a supporter. Supporting Hafez against his opponents and helping him in poverty are also important issues that should not be neglected in drawing the face of Turan Shah. In addition, Hafez has recorded some valuable advice from that wise minister in his poems. Understanding and analyzing these important words can lead to valuable results for a better understanding of Hafez's life and an even more accurate understanding of his poetry. In this essay, with the method of content analysis and in a descriptive-analytical way, we have tried to analyze the presence of Turan Shah in Hafez's poems by relying on the detection of intratextual relationships in Hafez's Diwan.
