Ibrahim ibn ar-Raqiq

Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm ibn al-Qāsim ar-Raqīq al-Qayrawānī (Arabic: أبو إسحاق ابراهيم ابن القاسم الرقيق القيرواني‎‎) known as Ibn ar-Raqīq or even just as ar-Raqīq, 11th century courtier and author (d. after 1027-8) in the court of the Zirids in Ifriqiya (now Tunisia). And at the convent of al-Quṣayr, what nights have I passed not knowingMorning from evening, without ever waking from drunkenness!An innocent virgin presents me with nectarAs soon as the bell chimes at dawn.Slender Christian beauty, at her slightest movementHer waist slays me, so slim in size!
