The answer

The two fatwas, 148680 and 38997, clarified that permissible ghazal (amatory poetry) is that which describes a general woman, not a specific one, and that it should not incite indecency. For further benefit, fatwas 115798 and 47345 can be consulted. Ka'b's poem is: "Bānat Suʿād" (Suʿād Has Departed).
