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

Kommst du, Freund gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Kommst du, Freund gegangen
Mit den Tafeln Mose,
O so lacht im Garten
Über dich die Rose.

«Nun wohlan, so ruf' ich,»
Sprichst du, «dem Profoße.»
Auf die Wache schleppen
Wolltest du die Rose?!

Nimm, o Freund, von Nieswurz
Eine starke Dose,
Und du selber denkst wohl,
Wie da denkt die Rose.

«Viel zu frech, zu gottlos
Denkt sie mir, die lose.»
Daß du es begriffest,
Wie sie denkt, die Rose!

Nicht auf Erden hegt man,
Nicht im Ätherschoose,
Frömmere Gedanken,
Als da hegt die Rose.
