Das Gescheh'ne, nicht bereut's Hafis
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi)
Das Geschehne, nicht bereut's Hafis, Er bedauert, was er unterließ. Schmerzlich ist ihm jeglicher Moment, Den er in ascetischem Verlies, Den er nicht bei'm Klange des Pokals, Den er nicht im Glanze des Genies, Den er nicht an holder Liebe Brust, Den er nicht gelebt im Paradies.
