Given name
editHind or Hend pronounced [‘hend ] ; is an ancient female Arab given name that is still used to this day . The name Hind goes back to pre Islamic Arab era and means “ a hundred camels” and “two hundred years” . The name Hind is often mentioned in Arab poetry as an object of romance like in this translation of a poem by famous Egyptian poet and doctor Ibrahim Nagi :
What's your trick, Hind? Your face showed up at me
With a powerful and tyrannical femininity
Oh Hind, where is my manhood and determination?
In the proximity of a charming, charming face
I am sad and thirsty
Drank with my eyes two lips
And in this translation of a poem by Ibn Hazm :
When does a soul damaged by conscience heal?
And look forward to a house whose people have become far away
I met Hind, who is our neighbor
And more than India for its seeker Hind
Indeed, there is comfort near home
Just as the thirsty person catches the water approaching
The name Hind is also found in a poem by Umar ibn Abi Rabi'ah that translates as :
Oh Hind, you have warmed my heart
An atmosphere of sadness contained in conscience
If you are gone, my heart comes to you
The soul has redeemed you from a burning longing
The day is long and I don't see you
And my day when I see you is short
The abandonment made my heart sore
And abandoning you, you know, is a big matter
I sacrificed for you, release my rope of existence
For God is Most Pardoning, Most Forgiving
However the most famous poem mentioning the name Hind is a poem by Bashshar ibn Burd , translated below :
My reproach to Hind has been prolonged
And my longing and my demands
And my disagreement every day
With false promises
Whenever I came for a promise
It was spent in the evening in the ruins
It broke when it was intended
Like the breaking of a mirage
Yazid blamed me for it
And was harsh towards my companion
I said to the blamer for it
He choked on his drink
Time is not obeyed in what
It has taken care of me with its
I wish someone blamed a lover
And threw him with reproach
Hind has exhausted my life
Hind has no repentance
May Allah afflict him with an illness
Occasion or torment
She conceived me with her desires
And her charms, so the deception
How can she not take refuge with a person
Wandering heart, afflicted
Burning in the love of Hind
With a complaint and a sob
Love for Hind entered
His heart from every door
If only I had a bow and arrows
When my beloveds have grown old
So I can strike the heart from them
With sharp, accurate arrows
From the arrows of love, for I
I desire her for the beloved
And my heart has been completed
With aversion And avoid
The day when she stood up, swaying
Between the clouds and the hustle and bustle
The most beautiful of all people
Whether unveiled or in a veil
She was perfect in the eyes in beauty
And beautiful in clothes
Remember the night when we played
In thunder and clouds
And a conversation we chose
In chastity and youth
And a messenger who spent the night walking
In your love with the book
Warning the lover until
They set up the edge of spears
From an enemy we fear
And angry cousins
My love knocked with worry
Almost Makes me forget my destination
And brought me back to my emptiness
With the plague of youth
On the day she said, Beware the eye
On the veiled one
Be a raven when you come
Between us or like a raven
Beware the eye, for we
We were not people of faults
So I prepared myself
Towards her without kinship
So we met with a talk
Of complaint and reproach
A logic from her and from me
Other than the investigation of the insults
I said when she was harsh with me
This was not my calculation
Where I hope for you So you were poisoned
Your visit is a whip of torment
I wish I had been in the dust before your love
So Hind wept and said
Love, do not deny my speech
Harshness after meeting
After that, a soft answer
