In the “Al-Batiniyah” area - and in an area that includes many ancient houses in “Atfat Al-Aini” near Al-Azhar Mosque, and as is the custom of this time, there were many angels over this beautiful house until it reached “Sitt Wasila” or “Wasila Bint Abdullah” Matoqa Al-Sittah “Adila Hanem” The wife of Prince Suleiman Agha. Al-Sitt Wasila was the last owner of his residence, so he knew her name and belonged to her. Al-Sitt Wasila died on May 4, 1835 AD, and history has not recorded anything about her, but it seems that she was a woman of status and influence in the region, so the people knew her. The area is well named. The architectural value of the house is embodied in the presence of wall drawings, not abstract decorations, in a boom in Islamic art, with drawings of holy Islamic places and a coastal city in Turkey. History did not stop long to search for an owner for this wonderful place. Poets occupied it. It became an important poetic center in the heart of ancient Cairo. ... Muhammad Al-Tablawi

Just as the house in the Arabic language is the shelter of the body, the house is also the shelter of the soul. It began as a tent and became a word. The mosque, the church, and the temple are the houses of God, and the high house is honor, and the house of wisdom is the heart, and the house is the beloved woman, the companion of life, and the woman is the man’s house, that is, his embrace and residence, and the house of six wasila is the house of poetry, built by love and gifted to beauty. The House of Poetry is not just a place, but a unifying bond that defines what is common between poets and development. The verse of Egyptian poetry, then, is an expression of identity, and of the specificity of Egyptian poetry within Arabic poetry on the one hand, or poetry of other languages ​​on the other hand. The Egyptian poetry house, therefore, is not a closed space, but rather an open horizon to different languages, dialects, forms, and poetic experiences, to Arab and foreign poets, to poetry houses and other institutions interested in this beautiful art throughout the world. It is a spiritual climate, a life that celebrates poetry, and poetry that celebrates life. A land and a sky between which we oscillate, meeting the shining stars, discovering emerging talents, and restoring our relationship with the audience. The verse of poetry does not celebrate the letter alone. Rather, it celebrates craft and value together, as poetry is beauty, emotion, and creativity. Love, enlightenment, freedom, and humanity.
