Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
Le baiser dans la nuit
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
A deux mains j'ai pris ta tête, comme une urne, et je me suis versé la liqueur d'amour. Qui aurait pensé qu'une urne si petite contenait tant de liqueur ? L'aurore ruisselait déjà dans le ciel quand nos bouches se séparèrent.
Confirmed with Franz Toussaint, Le jardin des caresses, Paris : H. Piazza, 1919, p.61
