| dc.description.abstract | Laila Majnun, written by Ismat Chughtai and translated into Hindi/Urdu by Sabir Irshad Usmani, is a theatrical adaptation of the timeless legend of Layla and Majnun, one of the most celebrated love stories in Persian, Arabic, and South Asian literary traditions. The play narrates the tragic love between Laila and Qais (Majnun), whose unwavering devotion transcends social barriers, family opposition, and worldly constraints. Combining poetic dialogue, music, movement, and evocative stage imagery, the production explores themes of eternal love, longing, sacrifice, destiny, and spiritual transcendence. | |
