Ihre Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Persian (Farsi)
Deine gewölbten Brauen, o Geliebte, Sind Paradieseslauben, drunter lächelnd Die holden Engel deiner Augen wohnen. Der Glanz, der durch die Welt gebreitet ist, Geht aus von diesen Engeln, die den Schimmer Mitbrachten aus der Flur des Paradieses.
