Jarireh's Last Farewell

From B12.13, The Death of Jarireh. It illustrates B12.13.2–5:

  • B12.13.2
    Jarireh kindled fire with her own hands,And burned the treasures gathered through the lands.
  • B12.13.3
    Then sword in hand she barred the stable door,Where stood the Arab steeds she prized before.
  • B12.13.4
    She hamstrung them and ripped their bodies wide;While bloody tears ran down her cheeks beside.
  • B12.13.5
    With khanjar blue as water, she drew near,And pressed both cheeks against her son so dear.
