Make a wish Layla awaits Majnun Of Persian lore From the oil lamp Smokeless fire Jeweled lizard of Djinn Casted out Doomed into an arid desert The land of betrayal Pans On an endless night (Yalto created by Edward Ibeh)

' Twas a long night for Layla, maybe one of her longest. Always longing for her lover.
