This quenched the pain that lived with me,
And the intense injury which burnt me with its fire.
The war; like a hailstorm, poured its fire on you,
And we rushed upon you like roaring lions."
After the battle, one of the Muslims said to Hassan ibn Thabit a great Ansar poet(39): "I wish you could have heard Hind, standing on a rock and, reciting a bravado verse in which she spoke of her crimes towards the martyr of God's way, Hamzah in a boastful tone." Hassan asked: "Can you repeat her words? Then I will supply the response." That man quoted Hind's words for Hässan and the latter composed a fine epic verse about Hind and her wickedness and crimes, which begin with the following lines:
"What show of meanness did that base woman exhibit, For her conduct was always mean
and her meanness was combined with infidelity"(40)
Ibn Hishim, well-known biographer, after quoting these lines, does not repeat the rest of the verse and says: I have abstained from quoting the whole of Hassan's poem since abuses her with biter words.(41)
But at-Tabari follows the above lines with eleven other rhymed lines, which go like this:
'May God deprive Hind of His blessing,
And involve her husband, too, with damnation.

O Hind! You arrived in Uhud merry-making among men, While' you had tied a litter on your camel, An overloaded camel that a cry or whip could not make it
rise,

Avenging the blood of you father and son.
Who were killed in Badr, brought you to the battlefield,
And the vengeance for your uncle who
In the said battle had fallen naked, and his garment
Had been taken away and in vengeance for
Your brother who had fallen with the others
Face down in a pit and covered with blood.
Fie! You have forgotten that evil deed of yours!
Woe to you, an evil which will ever remain in time.
