THE COMPLETE MAJNUN POEMS OF QAYS IBN AL-MULAWWAH AND NIZAMI'S LAYLA & MAJNUN Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Majnun was a real person Qays (Majnun='madman') was a youth, a Bedouin poet in the seventh century of the Bani Amir tribe in the Najd desert in Arabia. He fell in love with Layla from the same tribe whom he was denied. (It is said that Shakespeare was inspired by their tale for Romeo & Juliet from their tragic love story). His poetry was composed before and some after his descent into love-madness (mast). Here, in the form of the qit'as in which they were composed, is the largest collection of his immortal poems translated into English. Nizami's famous telling of their tale came from these poems and other sources. It is impossible to underestimate the effect of Nizami's 'Layla and Majnun' on the world over the past 800 years. Many poets throughout this period have copied or been influenced by his story of the young lovers. Many Master-Poets besides Ibn Arabi, 'Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Hafiz and Jami have quoted from him or like him have used the story of the desperate lovers to illustrate how human love can be transformed into divine love through separation and longing. It is said that no one has painted a more perfect picture of women in Persian Literature than Nizami. The correct rhyme-structure of this long masnavi epic poem is here while retaining the beauty of the poetry, the mystical meaning and simplicity of the form.

Saudi Arabia's rich Islamic heritage intersects with the present administration's pursuit of a more moderate interpretation of Islam, evident in initiatives like the General Entertainment Authority (GEA). This research explores the Saudi population's attitudes towards the GEA, its alignment with societal values, and its impact on the nation's social and political landscape. Employing cognitive-affective-behavioral frameworks, the study delves into participants' perspectives through in-depth interviews and analyzes data using frequency counts and pattern matching. Findings reveal a complex interplay of identities, motivations, and reactions, with the GEA receiving mixed reviews, particularly from religiously conservative segments. Financial concerns also emerge, raising questions about the agency's inclusivity and effectiveness in fostering societal change. While limitations exist, this study serves as an initial step in understanding the evolving events sector and its role in Saudi Arabian society.

The poetry of Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) attracts the attention of both readers and critics by her fabulous poetic craft which she wields to iconize her own embittered personal experiences. Hence, she becomes directly reputable after her premature death in February 11, 1963, for its order, harmony, organic unity, carefully employed devices and constant thematic implications.1 Plath, then, remains one of the well-known poets whose poetic works are critically examined and new phases of meanings and inspirations are innovatively concluded. Moreover, her poetic craft stems from her whirlwind relationships with her family members, in addition to some other harsh events such as refusals at academic courses, miscarriage and the rejection of publishing some of her poems and short stories. Under such heartbreaking pressures, Plath realizes that she has a quest for her true self that she has lost under such pressures.
