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

Lockt mich nicht in eure Welt
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Einen Kranz von blühenden Mandelzweigen 
wind ich meiner zärtlichen Suleima 
in der Locken aufgelöste Nacht.
Bei dem Springbrunn lassen wir uns nieder 
in den Rosengarten meines Hauses, 
und ich hebe selig den Pokal!
Aus dem Silberstrahl des Springbrunns 
plätschern kleine Liebesworte uns entgegen, 
und im Busche schlägt die Nachtigall.
Rennt in die Moscheen, fleht zu Allah, 
feilscht in den Basaren um die Wette, -- 
aber lockt mich nicht in eure Welt!
Mir ist diese Welt alleine wertvoll 
in dem Rosengarten meines Hauses, 
in dem Arm der zärtlichen Suleima!
