Die brennenden Tulpen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Our translations:  CAT
Einst aus meinem Grabe
werden ungezählte rote Tulpen,
rote Tulpen flammen sprießen.
Staune nicht ob dieses Wunders,
sondern, Herliche, bedenke, bedenke,
welche ungeheure Gluten,
dir geweihte Liebesgluten,
in dem Lebenden einst brannten,
da der Tote noch so glüht.

Płonące tulipany
Language: Polish (Polski)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Kiedyś mój się grób rozkwitnie
w moc pąsowych tulipanów,
Tulipanów skrzących żarem. 
Ciebie cud ten nie zadziwi,
pomyśl tylko ty wspaniała, o pomyśl,
jaki musiał pożar wielki,
twą pięknoscią pożar wszczęty
szaleć niegdyś we mnie żywym,
Gdy tak jeszcze zmarły wrę.
