I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla And I kiss this wall and that wall It's not Love of the houses that has taken my heart But of the One who dwells in those houses -Majnun The above quote was from one of Majnun's poetry that was recorded for Layla before his descent into madness. This story has been told in many different forms, it is the the story of Layla and Majnun. It is a classical Arab story popularized by a Persian poet by the name of Nizami Ganjavi whom wrote this masterpiece based on a true story of a young man called Majnun in Arabic meaning madman. This was in the 7th century when Arabs defeated Persia and Ctesiphon was destroyed and Persians built Iraq. The following story I got off a site that summarized very well the Nizami's writing in which he published in a book called Layla Majnun.
