Sakhr Poem by Khansa

Sakhr



Verily, Sakhr if you have made my eyes shed tears
You long brought me mirth
I had tears for you among wailing women
I had the most reason to be the one wailing
I incited you on the battle
When you were alive
But who can avert the invincible death
Though (they say) weeping over the killed is improper
I think crying for you is the best of the pleasant deeds.
