Al-Ma'arri's line sparks debate in Parliament
A heated debate took place during a session of the House of Representatives concerning the attendance of MPs. The Speaker, Mazen Al-Qadi, reproached MP Moataz Abu Ruman for his tardiness to the sessions. Abu Ruman responded by quoting a poetic verse from Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma'arri, saying: "And I, though I am the last of his time, will still bring what early ones could not." This elicited a reaction and intensified the debate among the members. The speaker intervened to defuse the situation and decided to remove the phrase from the session record. The discussion then quickly concluded, with members engaging with the poetic verse that reflects the speaker’s ability to accomplish what others have not.
