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

So steh'n wir, ich und meine Weide
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
  So steh'n wir, ich und meine Weide,
So leider mit einander beide:

  Nie kann ich ihr was thun zu Liebe,
Nie kann sie mir was thun zu Leide.

  Sie kränket es, wenn ich die Stirn ihr
Mit einem Diadem bekleide;

  Ich danke selbst, wie für ein Lächeln
Der Huld, für ihre Zornbescheide.
