by Mirzə Şəfi Vazeh (1794 - 1852)
Translation by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Mirza‑Schaffy, liebliche Biene
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili) 
Mirza-Schaffy, liebliche Biene,
Lange bist Du umhergeflogen,
Hast von Rosen und Jasmine
Nektar und süße Düfte gesogen;
Höre jetzt auf zu wandern
Von einer Blume zur andern --
Kehr' mit dem Gefieder
Deiner duftigen Lieder,
Kehr' mit all deinem Honigseim
Heim, zur Geliebten heim!
