According to this legend Ferhat was a famous craftsman who lived during the Persion time in Amasya.One day he was called to a small palace built for Sirin,Queen Mehmene Banu's sister,to show his art on list doors and walls.But some thing unpredictable happened when Ferhat and Sirin saw each other. They fell in love.
Ferhat went to Queen Mehmene Banu and told her taht he wanted to marry Sirin.The Queen didn't want this marriage and told Ferhat, If you want to marry my sister Sirin,you must dig a huge cahannel right in the middle of the Elma [Apple]mountains of the city.Then,you must make the water come through this channel to the city. If you succeed,you may marry my sister .If you fail , forget her''
It was a’mission impossible’. With the power of love, Ferhat started to dig the mountain. But when he was just about to finish the channel, he received a message from Mehmene Banu: Sirin is dead. With great anger Ferhat threw his hammer in the air but the hammer fell on his head and he died on the mountain he was digging. However, the message was a lie and after having heard about it.

Sirin went to the mountain and there she saw Ferhat’s dead body. She jumped form the rocks of the mountain and killed herself. Ferhat and Sirin couldn’t be together while they were alive but now their graves are next to each other. People believe that every spring there are two roses growing from each grave and while the roses are about to touch each other, a black bush appears in the middle of them and doesn’t allow the roses to kiss each other.
Qays and Layla fall in love,and he begins composing poems for her. When Leyla's father does not grant her hand in marriage to Qays,he withdraws into the wilderness,reciting poems and conversing with wild beasts of his love for her.He is given the name ''Mecnun,'' which means being possessed by madnessfor love.
Resingned to their son's decision to retreat into nature, his family leaves Mecnun food, and he can occasionally be seen reciting poetry or writing in the sand with a stick. His whole existence becomes loving Leyla and composing prose for her. Legand has it, Leyla would seek out her unrequtied love, and they would meet and recite poetry together. Eventually, she is was forced to marry this other man and dies of a broken heart. Mecnun's dead body is found soon after at the same site, having carved three verses into a rock nearby that read: "I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla. And I kiss this wall and that wall. It's not Love of the walls that has enraptured my hear, but of the One who dwells within them. "
The name Mecnun has since become somewhat taboo and is only used to infer that someone is going a bit mad;however,Leyla is prevalent as both a name or to mean to be intoxicated by love.This most famous love story in Turkey and the greater region was popularized in a literary adaption by 12th century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi.
