يغدو الفقير وكل شيء ضده

السياق · The story

A group of people, including the Quran reciter Muhammad ibn Ali al-Kaziruni, visited Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri upon their return from Mecca. He asked them about their names, hometowns, and professions. When al-Kaziruni stated that he was a reciter, al-Ma'arri asked him to recite a verse from the Quran. Upon hearing the verse 'On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there any more?"', al-Ma'arri wept intensely and then recited these poems to them at their request.
