Information about the poster:

The plot of the poem: In an Arab country, there was a very wealthy man who had longed for a child. He continuously prayed to Allah for a son, and his prayer was granted. When Qais grew up, he saw Layla and became trapped in the net of love. He was amazed by her beauty, and his mind became overwhelmed with love. Layla’s father arranged for her to marry another man. Upon hearing this, the love-struck youth wandered into the desert, where he was known as “Majnun” (the madman). Majnun, lost in the desert, was filled with sorrow, and no one, except birds and animals, could understand his pain. When Majnun heard of Layla’s death, he lost his mind. Unable to be with his beloved, he passed away. Some scholars believe that the poem “Layla-Majnun” is written in the style of Sufi poetry, with deep symbolic meaning.
