Qayes Wi Laila, is a 1960 Egyptian movie, directed by Ahmed Diaa Aldin, and starring Shoukry Sarhan, Magda Al Sabahi, Mohamed Sobeih. with a runtime of 110 minutes.
Qayes Wi Laila is an Arabic romantic drama that brings to life one of the most enduring love stories in Arab classical literature — the tale of Qais ibn al-Mulawwah, a poet consumed by his love for Laila. His passion finds expression in verses he composes and sings in her honor, but when the tribal elders hear his poetry, they forbid the two lovers from ever meeting. Bound by rigid tradition and the unyielding authority of the tribe, Qais and Laila are condemned to a life of longing and separation, their love immortalized only in his poems. The film is a timeless meditation on forbidden love, sacrifice, and the cruelty of social constraints.
