Translation by Louis Renou (1896 - 1966)

La Liane
Language: French (Français)  after the Hindi (हिन्दी) 
Comme la liane tient l'arbre 
embrassé de part en part, 
ainsi m'embrasse, 
sois mon amante
et ne t'écarte pas de moi !

Comme l'aigle pour s'élancer
frappe au sol de ses deux ailes, 
ainsi je frappe à ton âme :
sois mon amante
et ne t'écarte pas de moi !

Comme le soleil
un même jour entoure le ciel et la terre, 
ainsi j'entoure ton âme :
stie lecat pas de moi !
