"The loved ones left thee in middle night, * And fared with the pilgrims when dawn shone bright: The tents of pride round the domes they pitched, * And with broidered curtains were veiled fro' sight." Quoth the Caliph, "Favoured of Heaven art thou, O Kurrat al-Ayn! Whose song is that?"; whereto she answered "The words are by Di'ibil al-Khuza'i, and the air by Zurzur al-Saghir."
