by Hafis (c1327 - 1390)
Translation by Louis Alphonse Daniel Nicolas (1864 - 1939), as A. L. M. Nicolas

Ô vous ! dont le resplendissant visage
Language: French (Français)  after the Persian (Farsi) 
Ô vous ! dont le resplendissant visage
donne à la lune tout l'éclat 
dont elle brille dans le ciel !
Au puits creusé sur votre menton 
est puissée la plus belle eau des perles de beauté.

Brûlant du désir de se joindre à vous,
mon âme est déjà sur mes l`èvres : 
doit-elle retourner sur ses pas ?
Doit-elle s'envoler vers vous ?
Dites, quels sont vos ordres ?
