Stuck by

Hi.
Attar explored the seven realms of love
We are still stuck by an alley

Is 'stuck by' used correctly?

Thanks in advance

stuck = can't get out of a situation by = near If these are the meanings associated with what you have written, it is correct. However, it doesn't really make much sense to me.

The sentence is correctly phrased, but it still makes not sense to me. to be busy with = to be occupied with. If this is what you mean, it's fine.

wikipedia has this translation:

Attar has traversed the seven cities of Love, We are still at the turn of one street(The word means alley not street)

The translation problem is that "city" and "street" (or alley) have a meaningful relationship, but "realm" and "alley" do not

But can city be used to mean realms?
And do we have cities of love?

But can city be used to mean realms? Perhaps allegorically.
And do we have cities of love? Only in the imagination and in legends, such as El Dorado.
