The story goes that Hizia and her cousin Saïd married to love her and then married her after a love affair, but death separated them. Hizia fell seriously ill and died immediately after her death. After his death, the lover went to the popular poet Muhammad ibn Qaitoun, and asked him to mourn (Hizia), in order to alleviate concerns, wrote the poem Mohammed Ben Qaiton Hizia Algerian, Sarda where the tragedy of Hizia and Saïd, a famous story in rural Algeria.

Some of them gave him gold and the other silver and another dragged behind a thousand heads of camels and sheep and offered another knight and another and another ……… .. And always his response was absolute rejection, was the Hizia said to him: “I have no money, no gold, no power, I have this heart between my sides and I will give you the rest. of life. my hand. ” Hizia smiled at him and said: “This is your heart, this uncle’s son sings about these treasures, you alone, the tribe learned this silent love and panic and came together to decide the fate of Hizia and Said and ended up in the last to the execution of Hiziah, who said they violated the customs of the tribe, art The voice of the right,

===================
عزوني يا ملاح في رايس البنات * سكنت تحت اللحود ناري مقديا
ياخي أنا ضرير بيا ما بيا * قلبي سافر مع الضامر حيزيا
يا حسراه على قبيل كنا في تاويل * كي نوار العطيل شاون نقضيا
ما شفنا من دلال كي ظي الخيال * راحت جدي الغزال بالزهد عليا
و إذا تمشي قبال تسلب العقال * أختي باي المحال راشق كميا
جاب العسكر معاه و القمان وراه * طلبت ملقاه كل الاخر بهديا
نيقس سيف الهنود يومي غي باليد * يقسم طرف الحديد و اللي صميا
ما قتل من عباد من قوم الحساد * يمشي مشي العناد بالفنطازيا
ما نشكرش الباي جرد ياغناي * بنت احمد بالباي شكري و غنايا
