Majnun was in one version of the story sentenced to be stoned to death for killing Laila’s brother Tabrez for refusing to allow the lovers to marry. Majnun is another name for Qais, the great lover of the Islamic tradition (see note for Ghazal 3). Synonyms for LUNACY: absurdity, asininity, bêtise, fatuity, folly, foolery, foppery, idiocy Antonyms for LUNACY: mind, saneness, sanity, prudence, sagaciousness. Rizwan is the angel who serves as the gatekeeper of the Islamic Paradise. Ghalib is either saying he’ll have to fight Rizwan to leave Paradise and go to her house, or that he’ll disagree about whether her house is better than Paradise.
