Al-Khirniq bint Badr

Al-Khirniq bint Badr ibn Hiffān (or Haffān) (d. perhaps c. 600) 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.
