Classical Poems By Arabic Women:

Wallada bint al-Mustakfi (d. 1091/2)

I am, by God, fit for high positions,
And am going my way, with pride!

Forsooth, I allow my lover to touch my cheek,
And bestow my kiss on him who craves it!

The following lines of poetry were all addressed to her ultimately rejected lover.

Come and see me at nightfall, the night will keep our secret

When I'm with you I wish the sun and moon never turn up
and the stars stay put.
