Ich Unglückseliger!
Wer gibt mir Nachricht von meiner Liebsten?
Zwar der Ostwind kam und raunte hastig Botschaft mir ins Ohr,
doch raunte er so stammelnd und verwirrt,
daß ich ihn nicht verstand!
Ich weiß es wohl, ich weiß es wohl,
Er selber ist der Ärmste,
ganz betrunken und geisteswirr
durch meiner Liebsten Schönheit,
meiner Liebsten Schönheit.
Die Lieder und Gesänge des Hafis, YinYang Media Verlag. ISBN 3-935727-03-8
