Leila und Madschnun
Work
»Love between two is not perfect as long as one, speaking of the other, says:› I ‹…« / Sufi wisdom
“When I say ‘I’ I don’t mean how you see me, but the love that speaks out of me.” / Leila and Majnun, Albert Ostermaier
Leila and Majnun , the most famous lovers of the Islamic culture, tell of a love of deepest spirituality. The Persian poet Nizami wrote her story in 1188 and thus created a timeless love epic.
