Chaghaybou |
| God can bear witness when I think of Chaghaybou |
| The pain in the stomach that takes hold of me |
| Has no other remedy than a heart-to-heart with him late at night |
| I love him and I love those he loves, into the life beyond |
| I pine for those handsome and brave wearers of double turbans! |
| Amongst them Ahmad, Hamad Ahad and their friend, Chaghaybou: |
| The same who dine on grilled ram |
| When I glimpse him dressed in his beautiful robes |
| Smelling of a mixture of perfumes… |
| His headdress crested, giving him the air of gazelles |
| That race through dunes strewn with desert gourds |
| If only I could become a stand in his mother’s tent |
| That way I would never miss a moment he inhabits |
| Especially those when his mother is teaching him Tifinagh |
| In the sand |
