by Anonymous / Unidentified Author
Translation by Joseph, Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall (1774 - 1856)

Alles geht vorüber
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Auch dieses wird vorübergehen, 
Sei's Gram, sei's Lust, 
Wer kam, der nicht vorübergehen 
Zuletzt gemußt?  

Drum tröste dich in allen Wehen, 
Gib' dich zur Ruh'  --  
Wenn jene nicht vorübergehen, 
So gehest du. 

Confirmed with Duftkörner, aus persischen Dichtern gesammelt von Hammer-Purgstall, Stuttgart: Fr. Brodhag'sche Buchhandlung, 1836, page 115.
