93 “No, this cannot be! It is inconceivable that Al-Nābighah al-Ẓubyānī would utter such words. It is uncharacteristic of him!” Al-Munakhkhal al-Yashkurī, probing further: “Did Al-Nābighah have an audience with the King’s wife, al-Mutajarridah?” Al-Nuʿmān ibn al-Munẓir, affirming: “Indeed, he met with her and conversed.” Al-Munakhkhal al-Yashkurī, revealing: “In his verses, he depicted her in a physical manner, casting inappropriate aspersions on her beauty and form.” Al-Nuʿmān ibn al-Munẓir, shocked: “What exactly did he say?” Al-Munakhkhal al-Yashkurī, hesitantly: “Forgive me, but I cannot bear to repeat the words Al-Nābighah al-Ẓubyānī used.”
