Determination and destiny mean ineluctable and predetermined realization of accidents, human actions and future as the result of necessary cause and effect laws of universe or according to the a priori will of God. On the other hand, it seems that, at least, some factors determining thoughts and actions of human being are under the control of his own will. For conformists, the two claims can go together whereas for non-conformists this matter is impossible. The main aim of this article is to study fatalist poems of Hafiz besides his will-based poems. The article begins with a review of fatalist thoughts in ancient Iran and Greek and, then, such thoughts are studied in theosophical schools of Judeo-Christian and Islam. In the next stage, fatalist poems, type of fatalism and fatalist motivations of Hafiz are discussed. The results of this study show that Hafiz can be considered as a conformist fatalist.
