Abstract Although a lot of research has been done in the realm of Hafez's poetry, it can still be addressed from different angles and provided new material in connection with it. In this article, a verse from Hafez's sonnet, i.e., سپیدهدم که هوا چاک زد شعار سیاه» «ز دوستان تو آموخت در طریقت مهر
has been studied with the aim of showing its connection with the ritual of affection. For this purpose, firstly, by reference to statistical comparison of eleven printed and prominent copies of Hafez's Divan and paying attention to the poetic connections of the verse's words, its’ more accurate recording and a more correct reading has been noticed and analyzed. The way to reach the mentioned goal is through specifying the accurate recording of the words of the verse and its more correct reading, criticizing the opinion of several custodians about it and proving the link between the key and important words of the verse with The symbols mentioned in the ritual of affection made with the help of intratextual and extratextual signs. The main achievement of this research is strengthening the theory of attention and Hafez's approach to Mithraism of the ritual of affection and making the semi-dark space of the issue clearer. Keywords: Hafez, Ritual of affection, Path of Love, Air, Dawn.
