La pa\u0219a vine un arab,
Cu ochii stin\u0219i, cu graiul slab.
Sunt, pa\u0219\u0103, neam de beduin,
\u0218i de la Bab-el-Mandeb vin
S\u0103 v\u00e2nd pe El-Zorab.
Arabii to\u021bi r\u0103sar din cort,
S\u0103-mi vad\u0103 roibul, c\u00e2nd \u00eel port
\u0218i-l joc \u00een fr\u00e2u \u0219i-l las \u00een trap!
Mi-e drag ca ochii mei din cap
\u0218i nu l-a\u0219 da nici mort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dar trei copii de foame-mi mor!
Uscat e cerul gurii lor;
\u0218i de amar \u00eendelungat,
Nevestei mele i-a secat
Al laptelui izvor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ai mei pierdu\u021bi sunt, pa\u0219\u0103, to\u021bi:
O, m\u00e2ntuie-i, de vrei, c\u0103 po\u021bi!
D\u0103-mi bani pe cal! C\u0103 sunt s\u0103rac!
D\u0103-mi bani! Dac\u0103-l g\u0103se\u0219ti pe plac,
D\u0103-mi numai c\u00e2t soco\u021bi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El poart\u0103 calul, d\u00e2nd ocol,
\u00cen trap gr\u0103bit, \u00een pas domol,
\u0218i ochii pa\u0219ei mari s-aprind;
C\u0103runta-i barb\u0103 netezind
St\u0103 mut, de suflet gol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O mie de \u021bechini prime\u0219ti?
O, pa\u0219\u0103, c\u00e2t de darnic e\u0219ti!
Mai mult dec\u00e2t \u00een visul meu!
S\u0103-\u021bi r\u0103spl\u0103teasc\u0103 Dumnezeu,
A\u0219a cum \u00eemi pl\u0103te\u0219ti!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arabul ia, cu ochii plini
De z\u00e2mbet, mia de \u021bechini
De-acum, de-acum ei sunt sc\u0103pa\u021bi,
De-acum vor fi \u0219i ei boga\u021bi,
N-or cere la str\u0103ini!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu vor tr\u0103i sub cort \u00een fum,
Nu-i vor cer\u0219i copiii-n drum,
Nevasta lui se va-ntrema;
\u0218i vor avea \u0219i ei ce da
S\u0103racilor de-acum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El str\u00e2nge banii mai cu foc,
\u0218i pleac\u0103, beat de mult noroc,
\u0218i-alearg\u0103 dus d-un singur g\u00e2nd,
Deodat\u0103 \u00eens\u0103, tremur\u00e2nd,
Se-ntoarce, st\u0103 pe loc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se uit\u0103 lung la bani, \u0219i pal
Se clatin\u0103, ca dus de-un val,
Apoi la cal prive\u0219te drept;
Cu pa\u0219ii rari, cu fruntea-n piept,
S-apropie de cal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuprinde g\u00e2tul lui pl\u00e2ng\u00e2nd
\u0218i-n aspra-i coam\u0103 \u00eengrop\u00e2nd
Obrajii palizi: Pui de leu,
Suspin\u0103 trist. Odorul meu,
Tu \u0219tii c\u0103 eu te v\u00e2nd!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii mei nu s-or juca
Mai mult cu frunze-n coama ta,
Nu te-or petrece la izvor:
De-acum smochini, din m\u00e2na lor,
Ei n-or avea cui da!
Ei nu vor mai ie\u0219i cu drag
S\u0103-ntind\u0103 m\u00e2inile din prag,
S\u0103-i iau cu mine-n \u0219ea pe r\u00e2nd!
Ei nu vor mai ie\u0219i r\u00e2z\u00e2nd
\u00cen calea mea \u0219irag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copiii mei cum s\u0103-i \u00eembun
Nevestei mele ce s\u0103-i spun,
C\u00e2nd va-ntreba de El-Zorab
Va r\u00e2de-ntregul neam arab
De bietul Ben-Ardun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raira, tu, nevasta mea,
Pe El-Zorab nu-l vei vedea
De-acum, urm\u00e2ndu-te la pas,
Nici \u00een genunchi la al t\u0103u glas
El nu va mai c\u0103dea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pe-Ardun al t\u0103u, pe Ben-Ardun,
N-ai s\u0103-l mai vezi \u00een zbor nebun
Pe urma unui \u0219oim u\u0219or
Ca s\u0103-\u021bi \u00eempu\u0219te \u0219oimu-n zbor;
Nu-i vei pofti: Drum bun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu vei z\u00e2mbi, cum salt\u0103-n v\u00e2nt
Ardun al t\u0103u \u00een alb vestm\u00e2nt;
\u0218i ca s\u0103 sim\u021bi sosirea lui
Mai mult de-acum tu n-o s\u0103 pui
Urechea la p\u0103m\u00e2nt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O, calul meu! Tu, fala mea,
De-acum eu nu te voi vedea
Cum \u021bii tu n\u0103rile-n p\u0103m\u00e2nt
\u0218i coada ta fuior \u00een v\u00e2nt,
\u00cen zbor de r\u00e2ndunea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cum mesteci spuma alb\u0103-n fr\u00e2u,
Cum joci al coamei galben r\u00e2u.
Cum iei p\u0103m\u00e2ntul \u00een galop
\u0218i cum te-a\u0219terni ca un potop
De tr\u0103snete-n pustiu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218tia pustiul de noi doi
\u0218i zarea se-ngrozea de noi
\u0218i tu de-acum al cui vei fi?
\u0218i cine te va mai scuti
De v\u00e2nturi \u0219i de ploi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nu vor gr\u0103i cu tine bl\u00e2nd,
Te-or \u00eenjura cu to\u021bi pe r\u00e2nd
\u0218i te vor bate,-odorul meu,
\u0218i te-or purta \u0219i mult, \u0219i greu;
L\u0103sa-te-vor fl\u0103m\u00e2nd!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i te vor duce la r\u0103zboi,
S\u0103 mori tu, cel crescut de noi!\u2026
Ia-\u021bi banii, pa\u0219\u0103! Sunt s\u0103rac,
Dar f\u0103r\u0103 cal eu ce s\u0103 fac:
D\u0103-mi calul \u00eenapoi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se-ncrunt\u0103 pa\u0219a: E\u0219ti nebun?
Voie\u0219ti pe ianiceri s\u0103-i pun
S\u0103 te dea c\u00e2inilor? A\u0219a!
E calul meu, \u0219i n-a\u0219tepta
De dou\u0103 ori s\u0103-\u021bi spun!
Al t\u0103u? Acel care-l crescu
Iubindu-l, cine-i: eu ori tu?
De dreapta cui ascult\u0103 el,
Din leu turbat f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-l miel?
Al t\u0103u? O, pa\u0219\u0103, nu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al meu e! Pentru calul meu
M\u0103 prind de piept cu Dumnezeu
Ai inim\u0103! Tu po\u021bi s\u0103 ai
Mai vrednici \u0219i mai m\u00e2ndri cai,
Dar eu, st\u0103p\u00e2ne, eu?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centreag\u0103 mila ta o cer!
Alah e drept \u0219i-Alah din cer
Va judeca ce-i \u00eentre noi,
C\u0103 m\u0103 r\u0103pe\u0219ti \u0219i m\u0103 despoi,
M-arunci pe drum s\u0103 pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u0218i lumea te va blestema,
C\u0103-i blestem f\u0103ptuirea ta!
Voi merge, pa\u0219\u0103, s\u0103 cer\u0219esc,
Dar mila voastr\u0103 n-o primesc
Ce bine-mi po\u021bi tu da?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u0103 pa\u0219a semn. S\u0103-l dezbr\u0103ca\u021bi
\u0218i binele \u00een vergi i-l da\u021bi!
Sar eunucii, vin, \u00eel prind

De s\u00e2nge cald a izvor\u00e2t
Din nobil-\u00eencomatul g\u00e2t,

St\u0103 pa\u0219a beat, cu ochi topi\u021bi,

Pe ochii-n\u021bepeni\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u0103-ntoarce-apoi cu ochi p\u0103g\u00e2ni
