Majnun

When they said to Majnun
“Your love is futile
A mad poet
Who seeks shadows of Layla
Who has gone away with her Emir
You a fool wandering the streets
Where there is no love
Begone and seek wisdom
There is nothing but foolish in this”

Majnun replied
‘The word of love
Is not madness
But a blessing bestowed
Let these words spread
Where you have thrown enough stones
And shed enough blood
Let my Layla grow inside these hearts’
