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

Chaos der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Es lohnt sich nicht zu staunen über alle
Die Seltsamkeiten in dem Reich der Liebe.

Vernunft und Logik brechen ganz zusammen
Zu wüstem Chaos in dem Reich der Liebe.

Der Nüchterne steht da und rügt bedenklich
Das wüste Chaos im dem Reich der Liebe.

Wie wundervoll ist dieses wüste Chaos
Für den Verliebten in dem Reich der Liebe! 

Confirmed with Lieder des Hafis. Nachdichtungen von Hans Bethge, Im Insel-Verlag Leipzig [o. J. ca 1940], page 29.
