The seminary teacher repeatedly ordered both of them to concentrate on their studies, but Qais never moved his gaze away from Laila, and his love for her grew so strong that he began crying and calling loudly Laila Laila since childhood. When the teacher told Qais to write Allah, he wrote the name Laila instead. Despite repeated requests from the teacher, Qais did not listen and continued to write the same. The enraged teacher began beating him with a stick. Consequently, Laila’s hand had the striking markings appear. The instructor was shocked by this as well and let informed both students’ families. They were separated and unable to meet when the teacher informed their families of this. Both of them had grown up after a number of years. When Laila and Qais reached the same fair.

(The Arabic term majnu means mad. It is referred to as “mad” in English.)

Laila’s family forced her to marry Bakht despite all of Qais and Laila’s attempts to the contrary. Despite her affluent marriage, Leila still had feelings for Qais. Laila refuses to accept her spouse as her husband and freely admits that she loves Majnu. Bakht grew enraged and began to persecute Laila. Even after so much tribulation, Laila’s heart did not lose its love for Majnu.

Bakht was taken aback by Laila’s state, wondering how she could love someone so profoundly. He told Laila that he was going to divorce her. Laila desires that he meet Majnu just once. Bakht took Laila with him as he searched for Majnu. Once the Majnu knew Laila’s plight, they too set out on foot into the sweltering deserts to find her. Laila’s body was being marked by the act of stoneing Majnu in the desert. When Majnu eventually discovered in the desert. Bakht questioned the Majnu, saying, “What do you have that I do not?” Majnu answered that I have Laila’s affection and desire.

Bakht pulled out his sword and stabbed the Majnu’s chest because he was so hurt by what the Majnu had spoken. Upon Majnu’s death, Laila also departed from this world. The eternal love of Laila and Majnu was buried with him. Nonetheless, their unending love remained vibrant and unending throughout all time periods.
