Al-Khirniq bint Badr
Al-Khirniq bint Badr ibn Hiffān was an early Arabic elegiac poet. She was half-sister or aunt to the poet Tarafa ibn al'Abd.
Al-Khirniq's surviving diwan extends to somewhat under sixty lines, mostly preserved in the work of Abu 'Amr ibn al-'Ala'. Her known elegies are addressed to relatives, including her brother and her husband Bishr ibn 'Amr, who was slain by neighboring tribe on Mount Qudab.
