Stiller Grabstein im [Cypressendüster]1, Den die Muschel krönet, leer und golden, Antwort gieb dem Abendwindgeflüster, Das nach deiner Perle fragt, der holden, Nach der Perle: die der Tod erkor, Nach der Seele mein, die ich verlor -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Schweige, schweige, Abendhauch im Thale! [Seele, meine Perle: Fortgenommen Hat zum Paradies dich]2 eine Welle, Und in Allah's Hand bist du gekommen, Dass sein [Odem, Matte]3 dich erhelle, Dass [dein]4 Glanz sich in die Kette schmiegt, Die auf Allah's heilgem Herzen liegt -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Schweige, schweige, Abendhauch im Thale!

Silent tombstone in the gloom of the cypresses, Crowned by a seashell, empty and golden, Answer the whispering of the evening wind, Which asks after your pearl, the lovely one, After the pearl, chosen by death, After my soul, which I lost -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Fall silent, fall silent, gentle evening breeze in the valley! [Soul, my pearl]1: A wave has taken You away to Paradise, And you have come into the hand of Allah, That his [breath, weary one]2 may illumine you, That [your]3 radiance may nestle itself into the chain That lies upon Allah's holy heart -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Fall silent, fall silent, gentle evening breeze in the valley!
