Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
L'heure tranquille
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Voici l'heure tranquille où les troupeaux s'acheminent vers le puits Le jour décroît. J'attends ma bien-aimée, étendu sur les coussins qui gardaient l'empreinte de son corps . En signal , j'ai posé sur la fenêtre un vase dans lequel trempe la tige d'une rose . Cette rose se détache au sommet d'une colline bleue.
Confirmed with Franz Toussaint, Le jardin des caresses, Paris : H. Piazza, 1919
