The duality of reality and imagination is in fact one of the
opposing dualities in Arabic poetry the style of these binaries,
especially the dualism of reality and imagination, is one of the
modern philosophical concepts it is known about the opposing binaries,
as the Arabs called them by names such as Tabaq and Taqwab, they
also defined it as an antagonism in the meaning and an antagonism
in the wording, and they are the two opposites that negate the other,
such as joy and sadness, the existence of sadness, as well as
whiteness the presence of blackness and vice versa as well, except
that we find the opposite in the duality of reality and imagination
dualities and tries to fuse them and mix them to come out in an
integrated way that has the ability to attract the recipient and draw
his attention towards the text, the dualities you find seem mutually
exclusive in terms of pronunciation and correlates in terms of the
common meaning presented by the poet, whom the poet tries to
bring into existence, trying to prove his immortality in the mind of
the recipient and the literary scene in general, this is what we see in
al-Bakhrazi's poetry, which in the majority tends towards ambiguity,
symbolism, and a deep poetic philosophy that requires a high king
of literary culture and critical insight for the reader so that he can
stand at the anchors of his poems and the hidden intentions, it was
necessary to study these binaries and find out what they are in these
text, know the extent of their impact, and find out the reasons that
prompted the poet to use them despite their scarcity in poetry in
general.
