This article studies the binary significations of Hafez/Zahed (Pious) in Hafez’s lyrics through a Derridean deconstructive approach. In order to do this, first we outline the deconstructive reading as the theoretical framework of the study. Within this framework, we would explain the Platonic binary oppositions, its effect on Saussurean binary linguistics, and Derrida’s treatment of the oppositions, specifically the binary of the signifier and the signified. Then we deconstruct the binary of Hafez/Zahed and conclude that this binary opposition is unstable and Hafez’s poetry is a self-deconstructive text.
