It is popular poem praising their love story. Qays and Layla fell in love with each other when they were young, but when they grew up Layla's father didn't allow them to be together. Qays became obsessed with her. His tribe Banu Amir and the community peoples gave him the epithet of Majnun. It's mean crazy. He soon began composing poems about his love for her, mentioning her name often. His obsessive effort to woo the girls caused some locals to call him "MAJNUN". When he asked for her hand in marriage, her father refused because it would be a scandal for Layla to marry someone considered mentally unbalanced.
