As morning broke, the sun, with its golden light,
Eclipsed the twinkling stars of silvery white;
And Majnoon, rising, eagerly pursued
The path which wound to Laili's solitude,
Grieved to the heart; and, as he went along
His lips breathed softly some impassion'd song;
From Nizami's Laili and Majnoon - Tr. by James Atkin, Esq.)


Rafi Sahaab singing about ruined love with the passion and rapture of Majnun, the star-crossed lover,in: Barbaad-e-Muhabbat Kee Dua Saath Liye Jaa....
