ما هذه الدنيا وما أختها
I brought into being a world of poems.
A world of poetry I have created,
It is neither this world nor its sister.
What is this world, and what is its sister?
دنيايَmy world لاnot يدخلهاenters it شاعرa poet
دنيايَ لا يدخلها شاعر

فتحتُها حيناً وأغلقتها
My world—no poet enters it.
My world, no poet may enter it.
I opened it for a while and closed it.
I opened it once, then closed it shut.
