Maisuna am Brunnen
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ihr habt genug getrunken,
Ihr Heerden groß und klein,
Die Sonne ist gesunken,
Die Nacht bricht schon herein.

Viel Wetterwolken eilen
Herauf in dunkler Pracht;
Wo mag mein Melek weilen,
In dieser schwarzen Nacht? --

Wo er auch immer bliebe
Er steht in Allahs Hut,
Mit ihm ist seine Liebe,
Sein Glaube und sein Mut!
