Layla and Majnun, also known as The Madman and Layla – in Arabic مجنون ليلى (Majnun and Layla) or قيس وليلى (Qays and Layla), in Persian: لیلی و مجنون (Leyli o Majnun), Leyli və Məcnun in Azeri, Leyla ile Mecnun in Turkish, لیلا مجنو (lailā majanū) in Urdu and Hindi – is a classical Persian story, popularized by Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi's masterpiece, Layli o Majnun. It is based on the real story of a young man called Qays ibn al-Mulawwah from Najd (the central region of modern-day Saudi Arabia) during the Umayyad era in the 7th century when Arabs defeated the Byzantines and Persians, and Syria and Iraq were conquered. In one version, he spent his youth together with Layla, tending their flocks. In another version, upon seeing Layla he fell passionately in love with her. In both versions, however, he went mad when her father prevented him from marrying her; for that reason he came to be called Majnun (Arabic: مجنون) meaning "madman."
Qays was a Bedouin poet. He fell in love with Layla bint Mahdi ibn Sa’d (better known as Layla Al-Aamiriya) from the same tribe. He soon began composing poems about his love for her, mentioning her name often. His unself-conscious efforts to woo the girl caused some locals to call him Majnun (madman). When he asked for her hand in marriage, her father refused as it would be a scandal for Layla to marry someone considered mentally unbalanced. Soon after, Layla was married to another man.

Genres: Short, Thriller,Well tragedy's appealing
Disaster an addiction
Waiting for the good in everything
While the world keeps feeling
There's safety in this distance
This painting, entertainment
Waiting for the good in everything
While the world keeps feeling
Cause distance
With these problems
I'm not a failure now
Anxiety's misleading
It's kosher, yet revealing
Waiting for the good in everything
While the world keeps feeling
And shine a light down on this
And shine a light down on everyone and everything we see
While the world keeps feeling
This distance
With these problems
I'm not a failure now
You wonder why
And realize what we're made of
Afraid of
Failing
Failing now
In spite of this
I'm not a failure now
In light of this
I'm not a failure
