Virginal Love
It was said that Laila was dazzling in beauty, strong in character and eloquent, while Tawbah was also brave and eloquent, and he was fascinated by her when he saw her in one of the battles.
1- Virginal Love:
Laila Al-Akhiliya was a poet like Al-Khansa, and she was inspired by Tawbah, and in this story, unlike other love stories, the heroism of the woman is the one whose poetry became more famous, while the man was the lover who flirted with him even if he was a poet like her. They lived in the early days, and they were known for their undoubted mutual love.
It was said that Laila was dazzling in beauty, strong in character and eloquent, while Tawbah was also brave and eloquent, and he was fascinated by her when he saw her in one of the battles.
Despite their love, Laila's father prevented their marriage, and he even complained to the Caliph about Tawbah. So they lived a virginal love until Tawba was killed and it was said that he was killed in one of the battles. It was also said that he was looting caravans and this is the reason for his killing. Laila inherited him saying:
For your life, death is a disgrace to the boy
If you don't hit him in life crossings
No one is alive, even if he is healthy
I will be remembered by those whom the graves have forgotten
And whosoever brings about eternal distress,
He must one day be seen patient
There is no creed for the one who lives from death
And not on the days and eternity bygone
Nor is the living thing that happens to eternity to blame
Nor the dead if the living is not patient
And every young or new to me
And every person will one day die
I swore that I would not stop crying as long as she called
On a gentle art or a bird flew
It is narrated that she died next to his grave when she was visiting him frequently, and on one occasion she fell from the howdg next to the grave and she died.
Among the poems of Tawbah in Laila is his saying:
For every meeting we meet with a screen
And if it's a hola every day I visit it
And if I came, Laila, I would wear a veil
He lost me from her in the morning, her unveiling
And he raised me from them, as I saw him
And her turning away from my need and her fence
Except that Layla may find her virginity
And the day after Saturday, I went to see each other
So what is a black mother quarrying a paranoid
The best of them are two frying pans that you manage
It is noteworthy that some confuse the poems of Tawbah, Majnoun Layla Al-Akhiliya, and the poems of Qais bin Al-Malouh, Majnoun Laila Al-Amriya.
2 - Cured of Illness:
Jinan is the lover of Abu Nawas, and she is almost the only one who is faithful to her, even though he was capricious, and here the story differs from the rest of the stories in that the infatuation is not eternal, which leads to death. He sang the famous verses:
The holder of passion is tiredness that is underestimated by the rapture
If he cries, he has no right to play
You laugh at ease and the lover sobs
You are amazed at my sickness! My health is a wonder!
It was said that despite his addiction to alcohol, he followed her on a trip to the Hajj, and there he sang his well-known poem with which he adores the Creator and its beginning:
I do not do justice to you, your king is everyone who has a king
Labbaik has fulfilled your desires.
And the King has no partner for you, and the night will come when you are
It is said that Jinan did not love him as he loved her, perhaps because of his recklessness and her fear of treachery, but this did not last, as he was able to seduce her with his hair for her, and it was said that the reason for her change of opinion was that she heard him chanting:
Jinan, if you find what I hope for, the sky will not dripping blood
And if he goes too far and does not go too far in preventing you, he becomes a waste of sand
I was suspended from if he had come upon the souls of the past and the departed as long as he regrets it
If his eye looks at a stone in which he was born, it will be cured of illness
