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

Wo ist der Ort, an dem du weilst?
 (Sung text for setting by B. Scholz)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Wo ist der Ort, an dem du weilst?
  An diesem Orte will ich sterben.
Kein bess'rer Port auf wildem Meer;
  In diesem Porte will ich sterben.

 ... 

Und wenn du dich vor mir verbirgst,
  Und wenn du deine Pforten schließest,
An dieser Pforte lag're ich,
  An dieser Pforte will ich sterben.

Das letzte Wort aus meinem Mund,
  Was wird es sein? Dein süßer Name.
Wie fiele mir ein andres ein?
  Bei diesem Worte will ich sterben.
