Some gorgeous, thoughtful books from two of my beautiful, intelligent clients. Both books made me feel so seen and so known and I hope I make all of my clients feel the same way ❤️❤️

hafsa bint al-hajj arrakuniyya, translated by abdullah al-udhari
They killed my love, then threatened me for wearing my mourning clothes. Let Allah bless those who grieve or untap their tears for the man killed by his haters. Let the morning clouds, like his generous hand, shower the earth that blankets him. Translations from Arabic & comments by Abdullah al-Udhari

poem by abbas ibn al-ahnaf, translated by abdullah al-udhari and g.b.h. wightman (published in the anthology birds through a ceiling of alabaster)
Abbas I wish you were the shirt On my body, or I your shirt. Or I wish we were in a glass You as wine, I as rainwater. Or I wish we were two love birds Who lived alone in the desert, No people.

walking around Cordoba seeing various things named after Wallada Bint al-Mustakfi and thinking of these translations of her surviving poems by Abdullah al-Udhari
Wallada bint al-Mustakfi (Córdoba, 994-1091) SIX POEMS By Allah, I'm made for higher goals and I walk with grace and style. I blow kisses to anyone but reserve my cheeks for my man. Come and see me at nightfall, the night will keep our secret. When I'm with you I wish the sun and moon never turn up and the stars stay put. • If you were faithful to our love you wouldn't have lost your head over my maid. You dropped a branch in full bloom for a lifeless twig. You know I am the moon yet you fell for a tiddly star. • Ibn Zaidun, in spite of his qualities, is unkind to me for no reason. He looks at me menacingly as if I'd come to unman his boyfriend Ali. In Zaidun, though a man of quality, loves the unbent rods in men's trousers. If he saw a joystick dangling from a palm tree he'd fly after it like a craving bird. Is there a way we can meet and share our love once more? In the winter I used to wait on hot coals for your visits. Now I feel worse since you've gone and confirmed my fears. The night rolls on, but absence stays and patience won't free me from longing's grip. I hope Allah waters the new land that's become our home. Translations from Arabic by Abdullah al-Udhari

Yeah don’t bother with this book. The translations are dull & stupidly prudish when the women poets were no such thing — just had one where “buttocks” was rendered as “hips”, and that’s only two I noticed. It’s basically censorship, “correcting” the women’s unashamedly direct language. Ugh.
