While not a free PDF, Paul Smith’s translation is the most comprehensive English collection of Qays’s qit'as (short poems). The Legend of the "Madman"
(died c. 688 AD), famously known as Majnun Layla ("The Madman of Layla"), is a central figure in Arabic literature and the archetype of the "romantic hero" in Middle Eastern culture. His poetry is renowned for its raw emotion, exploring themes of unrequited love, madness, and devotion.
