This paper considers the worldly and unworldly in the famous Somali poem \nJacayl Dhiig Ma Lagu Qoray by Maxamed Ibraahim Warsame “Hadraawi.” \nThe poem alternates between worldly and unwordly perspectives, each of \nwhich is a side in a dialectic questioning the nature of love. These different \nperspectives are reflected in references to time, people and landscape. A \ncomparison is drawn with the way in which such references are presented \nin the poem Beledweyne, a more conventional love poem by Hadraawi, \nsuggesting an intertextual relationship between the two poems
