Qays and Leyla ain’t Romeo and Juliet They are worlds apart I hope you correct your blatant disregard for the facts

Yesss tell em abowe! Qees iyo layla is a African love story nothing to do with a white made up love story

When does it release?

Got released yearsssss ago mate lol

[@whoisthis430]

Mm

[@Al-himathy]

Qays and layla, referencing the Yemeni poet imrul Qays?

[@rfaraha6665]

It’s referring to Qays (Majnun) and Layla, which was a love story similar to Romeo and Juliet written by a Persian writer.

[@Al-himathy]

Raho Faraha ik the context is the poem by imrul qays?

[@rfaraha6665]

Amin The song isn’t in the context of that poem.

[@Somali.Pirate1]

Its an ancient Arabian folklore, it was popularized by Persian poets in Iran and the west, but is a story that people on both sides of the red sea know. Romeo and Juliet was just a cheap knock off.

[@Somali.Pirate1]

the story of qays and layla predates writing.
