Unwiderstehliche Schönheit

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Persian (Farsi)

Our translations: ENG HEB LIT

Durch deine schönen Locken werden
Die Heiden und die Glaubensstarken
In gleicher Weise sinnverwirrt.

Die schwachen Seelen stürzen taumelnd
In deiner Wangen holde Grübchen,
Die starken Seelen stürzen nach.

Dein Aug, das von der schwarzen Kunst 
Geschaffen ward, lenkt aus den Wolken
Des Adlers Flug zu sich zurück.

Die zarte Nachtigall, die nicht
Aufsteigen kann in Wolkenfernen,
Ist ganz und gar in deinem Bann.

Hafis vergaß um deinetwillen
Die Morgen- und die Nachtgebete,
Klar ist sein Seelenuntergang!

Nenusakomas grožis

Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the German (Deutsch)

Dėl tavo garbanų gražiųjų
Netikėliai ir tikintieji
Tuo pat būdu iš proto eis.

Ir klumpa staigiai silpnos sielos
Duobelėse tavųjų skruostų,
Ir stiprios sielos klumpa ten.

O tavo akys, juodo meno kurtos,
Nukreipia iš dangaus aukštybių
Erelio skrydį link savęs.

Lakštingala švelnioji, kur negali
Pakilt į debesų tolybes,
Taviesiems burtams paklusni.

O dėl tavęs pamiršo Hafis
Maldas rytais ir vakarais kalbėti,
Tad aiškus krytis jojo sielos!
