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

Nicht mit trister Miene
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
  Nicht mit trister Miene,
[Nicht]1 mit Thränentrübe
Komm zu meinem Grabe;
Komm mit einem Becher,
Komm mit einem Liede,
Angestimmt aus [voller
Jubelheller]2 Brust!
Steigen aus dem [Dust]3
Wird der alte Zecher,
Trinken aus dem Becher,
Stimmen in dein Lied ein,
Sich im Tanze heben,
Springen hoch vor Lust.
