ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Layla and Majnun

"Once upon a time, there was a boy named Majnun who loved a girl named Layla very much. They lived in a place called Arabia a long time ago. He loved her so much that it made him crazy, and everyone called him 'madman'. Layla also loved him, but they couldn't be together because of their families.

Majnun wrote poetry about Layla and how much he loved her. He would wander around in the desert, saying her name and talking to himself about her. People thought he was strange, and they felt sorry for him because he was so sad.

Layla was later married to another man, which made Majnun heartbroken. He lost his mind completely and lived alone in the desert, talking to himself and worrying about Layla. Some say he died of a broken heart.

Layla also became sad and missed Majnun, and eventually died from sorrow. Their love story became very famous, and people still talk about it today. That's the story of Layla and Majnun, two lovers who loved each other very much but couldn't be together."
