Majnun Layla Quotes
Enjoy reading and share 1 famous quotes about Majnun Layla with everyone.
“One day, while he was idly reciting his verses to a captive audience, a scrap of paper, borne by the wind, landed on his lap. On it were written two words: "Layla" and "Majnun." As the crowd watched, Majnun tore the paper in half. The half on which was written "Layla" he crumpled into a ball and threw over his shoulder; the half with his own name he kept for himself. "What does this mean?" someone asked. "Do you not realize that one name is better than two?" Majnun replied. "If only you knew the reality of love, you would see that when you scratch a lover, you find his beloved." "But why throw away Laylas name and not your own?" asked another. Majnun glowered at the man. "The name is a shell and nothing more. It is what the shell hides that counts. I am the shell and Layla is the pearl; I am the veil and she is the face beneath it." The crowd, though they knew not the meaning of his words, were amazed by the sweetness of his tongue.”
