Alles geht vorüber

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.
