Walladah Bint Al Mustakfi
Walladah Bint Al-Mustakfi As a poet I see the world differently than most people. ... My name is Walladah Bint Al-Mustakfi; I was born in Andalusia in 1001. ... He was illiterate and disliked by many, despite his direct descent from Abd Al-Rahman Al-Nasir, who was one of the most famous Caliphs in Andalusia. ... People in Cordoba found to be interesting and novel, and my idea came from women in the court of Harun Al-Rashid in Baghdad. ... As a response he wrote… …being beguiled by Walladah’s promises Is like a fleeting mirage or a lightning flash She is like water, difficult to hold in hand: Its seething foam prevents getting it easily As you can see by his writing I am a very free spirited woman, beautiful, rich and intelligent.
