Majnoun and Leila (Arab majnûn : insane (in love), laylâ : Leila; harms) is an Eastern history of love near to that of Romeo and Juliette who inspired many writer S and Artiste S Moslem like Nizami, Djami or Mir Alisher Navoï.

" The ideal is born from the love. Without love there is no ideal and when the love bends, the ideal disappears. This is why our ideal cannot be given to someone else, because each one is attracted by a certain form of beauty, kindness and happiness. On this subject one can quote the history of Majnoun and Leïla. Majnoun was a whole young man which liked Leïla since the childhood of the most tender love. But they did not belong to the same clan, so that the parents were dissatisfied with this reciprocal feeling and that they unceasingly sought to move away young people one from the other. One day, a family friend of Majnoun says to him: " But this Leïla that you like with such an amount of constancy is not more beautiful than others! ". Majnoun answered: " To see Leïla it is necessary to have the eyes of Majnoun". These " eyes of Majnoun" are the eyes of the idealism, eyes which see the beauté." of Murshida Sharif Lucy Goodenough
