Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)
Verlassen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Arabic (العربية)
Du hast in deine Arme mich gelockt Mit Worten, so beredt, daß scheue Gemsen Aus Felsenhöhn herabgestiegen wären. Dann, als du meiner Herr geworden warst, Gingst du hinweg. Nun ist mein Herz voll Gram, Und alle Lust schwand in die tiefste Nacht.
