by Ibn al-Farid (1181 - 1235)
Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)

Rose et myrte
Language: French (Français)  after the Arabic (العربية) 
-- L'amour que tu as pour moi 
est pareil au parfum et à l'éclat de la rose
 La vie de la rose à une durée bien courte ! 
Mais , l'amour que j'ai pour toi 
est pareil au parfum et à la vie du santal.
-- J'aime tout ce qui te ressemble, Kheïra ! 
Je suis donc amoureux du soleil et de la lune. --
-- Quand je passe près d'un rocher, je le couvre
de baisers, parce qu'il me rappelle ton cœur. --
