Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
La confiance
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Laissez rôder les amoureux autour de ma bien-aimée ... Pouvez -vous empêcher les mouches de voler autour d'un gâteau de miel ? Laissez rôder les amoureux, mais engagez-les à faire construire leur tombeau, car aucun remède ne guérit les blessures que font les yeux de Yamina.
