| Leila's cry from the desert of love :-) ************************* "I used to be the queen among my peers My wisdom was a wonder even to my seers I put my heart and soul in my will I renounced sleep to win without fail I was the sole mistress of my attentive mind No glitter around could make me blind But now an odd state has taken place I forgot the whereabouts of time and space I have become the lost Leila of the vast desert Majnun's mirage she sees wherever her eyes set During the day I intend to fix my mind in the night During the night all my senses towards him take flight O my distant Majnun! Leave a little of my senses behind How else will I to the matters of the world attend? O my distant Majnun! Make me not a lunatic with love Like a poor bee that lost its way in the hive Even though such is the case I continue to adore my craze- At all times I secretly beg to my Merciful Him Ya Rabb! When in my sight will Majnun appear to coolness bring?" - Jaihoon ::) Notes Leila and Majnun: The famous romantic tale of Arabia http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/leila.htm |
