Madness is this love
which drives me
to sanity's brink.
Lacking Majnoon fame
but being a lover
I search....
Through out the ages
I have pursued you
beloved of my dreams
But in my pursuit
I like the Majnoon
am lonely and deprived
And now...
If before Liela I stood
this love's madness
would blind her from my eyes
