by Hafis (c1327 - 1390)
Translation by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800 - 1875)

Liebesglut
 (Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
  Die Flamme hier, die wilde, zu verhehlen,
Die Schmerzen alle, welche mich zerquälen,
Vermag ich es, da alle Winde ringsum
Die Gründe meiner Traurigkeit erzählen?

  Daß ich ein Stäubchen deines Weges stäube,
Wie magst du doch, o sprich, wie darfst du schmählen?
Verklage dich, verklage das Verhängnis,
Das waltet über alle Menschenseelen!

  Da selbiges verordnete, das ew'ge,
Wie alle sollten ihre Wege wählen,
Da wurde deinem Lockenhaar der Auftrag,
Mir Ehre, Glauben und Vernunft zu stehlen.
