Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
Soudjoud
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Longtemps encore, ô mon œillet flamboyant, refuseras-tu de me regarder ? — Es-tu donc le soleil, pour vouloir que je me tourne vers toi ? — Et si, las de ta cruauté, j'escaladais, pour t'étrangler, le mur de ta demeure ? — Je te laisserais baiser mon cou parfumé, afin de t'entendre gémir d'amour.
