by Abusa'id Abolkhayr (967 - 1049)
Translation by Joseph, Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall (1774 - 1856)

Eigene Schuld
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
  Kann ich klagen?
Selber warf ich in die Scheuer
Meines armen Herzens Feuer,
  Kann ich klagen?

  Soll ich fragen,
Ob mein Herz je kann gesunden
Von der Liebe tiefen Wunden,
  Selbst geschlagen?
