Chereads / The Immortal Tales II / Chapter 12 - Lovers Lament

Chapter 12 - Lovers Lament

Beneath the Persian moon's soft glow,

A tale of love, both high and low.

Mehran and Layla, hearts entwined,

Yet destiny's threads proved unkind.

Through Shiraz's lanes, their love did bloom,

A fragrant rose, a sweet perfume.

Mehran, a poet, Layla his muse,

In verses, their passion would diffuse.

But fate, a cruel and silent guide,

Led Mehran to a distant tide.

Layla wept in shadows cast,

Love's echo, a whisper from the past.

Mehran, in battles, faced his strife,

A soldier bound to country's life.

Letters written, inked in pain,

Conveyed a love that waned in vain.

News arrived, a mournful bell,

Layla's heart in a somber spell.

Mehran, lost to war's cruel dance,

Left Layla in a melancholic trance.

Beneath the ancient cypress tree,

Layla mourned, her soul set free.

In the Persian night, a lone dove cries,

Echoing love's bitter goodbyes.

Their names engraved on scrolls of fate,

Mehran and Layla, a tragic weight.

In Isfahan's garden, where roses weep,

Rests a love story, eternally deep.
