Translation
✧ [The Poetry of Ṣafiyyah] Ṣafiyyah bt. Musāfir b. Abī ʿAmr b. Umayyah b. ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf said, weeping for the people of the well (al-qalīb) who were slain on the day of Badr from Quraysh, mentioning their calamity: O who will aid an eye whose mote is a wandering ophthalmia, at the height of day, when the sun's horn has not yet declined? I was told that the noble ones of the most generous, all together, their fates have secured them to a term. And the riders of the camels fled with the people, and no mother turned back, on that morning, to her child. My people, be loyal, and do not forget their kinship; if you weep, you do not weep from afar. They were the tent-poles of the sky of the House, and they snapped, so the roof became without pillars. Ibn Hishām said: A certain learned authority on poetry recited to me her line: "They were the tent-poles." Ibn Isḥāq said: Ṣafiyyah bt. Musāfir also said: Alas, O who will aid an eye whose flowing tears are exhausted, like the two buckets of a water-drawer, watered amid the near rain? And what lion of a thicket, with claws and teeth, father of two cubs, leaping, mighty of grip, hungry, is like my beloved when he turned away, and the people were of various colors, and in his hand was a sharp, white, remembered sword, and you are the piercer of the wide-eyed one, from which foaming flows. Ibn Hishām said: They consider her saying, "And what lion of a thicket..." to the end, as detached from the two lines before it.
