Turkestan chinois, LE MUQAM DES DOLAN - Document sans titre ...

They say that your body is a flower bud,
They say that your teeth are like pearls.
When we are together, they say
That we are like flowers of the same garden.
Chikitma
I have no mother or father
In this city of yours.
All your gold wouldn’t make me stay
In this city that is foreign to me.
Did you just come to see me,
To set my heart on fire,
Or else
To rekindle the flame that went out?
Sanam
I, the orphan
I cannot taste happiness.
The hens have no milk,
The chicks are orphans.
The stream carries mud along,
If you walk there the earth is soft.
When I think of my love
My heart trembles.
Saliqa
We rode and rode
Toward Aksu and toward Kucha.
We went into the orchard
And we cried for our lost love.
Serilma
It was my father who showed me this path,
It was my mother who showed me this path.
The passion of young girls is so ardent
That she put me through hell, alive.
They say that you are beautiful, beautiful
You seem to be holding a flower of Laila 4
between your lips.
You didn’t bow to respond to my greeting,
Is that a child you are holding on your knees?
9. Jula
Muqaddima
From high up in the hills
I contemplated my love’s bedroom.
Even after my death
The wound that your love made in my head will
remain wide open.
Chikitma
The powerful tiger lies across the road,
He prevents the lion from going by.
He who is cursed by his father
Cannot move forward.
4. A variety of desert flower. Laila is also a famous lover in Oriental literature.
– 26 –
O you who remain, I am leaving this world
Don’t leave me by the wayside.
If you leave me,
Don’t abandon me in the desert.
