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

Sing', o lieblicher Sängermund
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Sing', o lieblicher Sängermund,
Stets von neuem und ende nicht!
Spend' uns herrlicher Reime Fund
Stets von neuem und ende nicht! --
 
In holdseligem Minnespiel
Üb', o Schüler Hafisens, dich,
Weil nur also das Herz gesund,
Stets von neuem und ende nicht! --
 
Sieh, o Schenke, die Becher leer;
Bring' uns, um zu bekräftigen
Mit dem Weine den edlen Bund,
Stets von neuem und ende nicht! --
 
Daß ich theuer und werth dir sei,
Sag' es, Liebste, denn nimmermehr
Ward mir süßere Mähre kund,
Stets von neuem und ende nicht! --
 
Ras' und tobe, du schwarzes Herz,
Wenn es also gefällig ist,
Unvernünftig und ohne Grund
Stets von neuem und ende nicht!
 
Du, o Quelle des Lichts, jedoch
Scheuch', o Sonne, die finstre Nacht,
Hell durchstrahle das Weltenrund
Stets von neuem und ende nicht!
