What poetry was recited about the day of Badr
[ شِعْرُ هِنْدَ بِنْتِ عُتْبَةَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ تَبْكِي أَبَاهَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ: أَعَيْنَيَّ جُودَا بِدَمْعٍ سَرِبْ عَلَى خَيْرِ خِنْدِفَ لَمْ يَنْقَلِبْ تَدَاعَى لَهُ رَهْطُهُ غُدْوَةً بَنُو هَاشِمٍ وَبَنُو الْمُطَّلِبْ يُذِيقُونَهُ حَدَّ أَسْيَافِهِمْ يَعُلُّونَهُ بَعْدَ مَا قَدْ عَطِبْ يَجُرُّونَهُ وَعَفِيرُ التُّرَابِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ عَارِيًا قَدْ سُلِبْ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَبَلًا رَاسِيًا جَمِيلَ الْمَرَاةِ كَثِيرَ الْعُشُبِ فَأَمَّا بُرَيٌّ فَلَمْ أَعْنِهِ فَأُوتِيَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا يَحْتَسِبْ وَقَالَتْ هِنْدُ أَيْضًا: يَرِيبُ عَلَيْنَا دَهْرُنَا فَيَسُوءُنَا وَيَأْبَى فَمَا نَأْتِي بِشَيْءِ يُغَالِبُهْ أَبَعْدَ قَتِيلٍ مِنْ لُؤَيِّ بْنِ غَالِبٍ يُرَاعَ أَمْرٌ إنْ مَاتَ أَوْ مَاتَ صَاحِبُهْ أَلَا رُبَّ يَوْمٍ قَدْ رُزِئْتُ مُرَزَّأً تَرُوحُ وَتَغْدُو بِالْجَزِيلِ مُوَاهِبُهُ فَأَبْلِغْ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ عَنِّي مَأْلُكًا فَإِنْ أَلْقَهُ يَوْمًا فَسَوْفَ أُعَاتِبُهْ فَقَدْ كَانَ حَرْبٌ يَسْعَرُ الْحَرْبَ إنَّهُ لِكُلِّ امْرِئِ فِي النَّاسِ مَوْلًى يُطَالِبُهُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَبَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالشِّعْرِ يُنْكِرُهَا لِهِنْدٍ
Translation
✧ Hind's poetry Ibn Isḥāq said: Hind bt. ʿUtbah b. Rabīʿah said, weeping for her father on the day of Badr: My two eyes, flow with copious tears for the best of Khindif, who did not return. His kinsmen rushed to him in the morning— Banū Hāshim and Banū al-Muṭṭalib— making him taste the edge of their swords, giving him the second draught after he had perished, dragging him while the dust was stirred up onto his face, stripped naked and despoiled. He was for us a firm mountain, fair to look upon, abounding in herbage. As for Burayy, I did not mean him; so may he be granted the best of what he hopes for. Hind also said: Time brings us vicissitudes and so grieves us, but it refuses; we can do nothing to overcome it. After a slain man of Luʾayy b. Ghālib, shall any matter be dreaded, whether he dies or his companion dies? Indeed, many a day I have been afflicted with a heavy loss— one whose gifts of abundant bounty come morning and evening. So convey from me a message to Abū Sufyān; for if I meet him one day, I shall reproach him. War used to kindle war; for every man among the people there is a patron who will demand his due. Ibn Hishām said: Some of the people of knowledge of poetry deny that these verses are by Hind.
