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

O welche Treue mein Inn'res hegt
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
O welche Treue mein Inn'res hegt, du weißt es nicht; 
Wie dir ohn' Ende mein Busen schlägt, du weißt es nicht. 

Wie alle Freude der Welt mir hohl, wofern sie mich 
Aus deinem himmlischen Kreise trägt, du weißt es nicht. 

Wie rein von Sünde, wie fromm ich in der Liebe bin, 
Was auch die Menge zu schwatzen pflegt, du weißt es nicht. 

zu spielen scheinet Hafis dir nur; wie tief jedoch 
Sein liebeglühendes Herz bewegt, du weißt es nicht. 

Confirmed with Hafis. Neue Sammlung. Von G. F. Daumer, Verlag von Bauer & Raspe in Nürnberg, 1852, page 36.
