by Hafis (c1327 - 1390)
Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)

Persisches Liebeslied (Der Entwurzelte)
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Mächtige Stürme reissen Bäume 
mit ihren Wurzeln aus.
Mir aber -- o Wunder -- 
riss mit allen Wurzeln 
aus der Alltäglichkeit des Daseins 
in ein seliges Reich empor 
ein leises, süsses, liebevolles Lüftchen: 
Der Atem deines Mundes!
