Leyli and Majnun (Azerbaijani: Leyli və Məcnun) is an opera in four acts by Uzeyir Hajibeyov, to an Azerbaijani libretto written by the composer and his brother Jeyhun Hajibeyov.
[2][3] The first performance of the opera was led by Huseyn Arablinski and Hajibeyov himself played violin.
Uzeyir Hajibeyov and his brother Jeyhun Hajibeyov wrote the libretto for the opera based on Azerbaijani poet Muhammad Fuzuli's poem Layla and Majnun; most parts of the poem remained unchanged.
[5][6] This opera has been shown more than 2,000 times at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater as well as in other countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Turkey, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Knowing about refusal, Geys frantically curses people and his sad destiny.
Majnun's father and friend – Zeyd have found him – but crazy young man hasn't decided them.
Emaciated appearance of the anchoret, his uncheerful destiny and his father's sorrow arouses sympathy of Arabs passing through the desert.
He bitterly complaints to Leyli, that she has betrayed him, destroyed his life, brought sorrow and pain.
Leyli's heart can't bear it: I’m happy as long as my beloved one torments me, If only people wouldn’t call me unfaithful.
Hey moon, heal me with the wine of joining.She dies in arms of Ibn Salam.
