Her lament for her brother

After her brother's death in 178 AH she mourned him in several odes, among them her well-known ode. Ahmad Amin compared her position with that of al-Khansa over her two brothers Sakhr and Mu'awiya. 2

Ahmad Amin quotes a passage from them in his discussion of the literary heritage of the Kharijites. 2
