From Wikipedia

The western classical-style art song has attracted many songs on translations of Arabic texts, notably by composers of French mélodies and German Lieder, but few art songs sung in Arabic.

Musical settings of Arabic poetry include Hans Werner Henze's Sechs Gesänge aus dem Arabischen, while other composers such as Francesco Santoliquido have set translations of Persian texts.
