Tales of Rendezvous

Miad is woven with art, heritage, and devotion. We trace our spirit through six classic Eastern tales of rendezvous, each reflecting our commitment to consistency, trust, and the rich flavor of shared moments. Explore these six timeless legends below.

Leyli & Majnun

Leyli & Majnun

Majnun was deeply infatuated with Leyli. One day he said: “Tomorrow my father and the clan elders will come to propose marriage”... But Leyli’s father was opposed. Knowing he had to brave adversity, Majnun wandered the deserts crying out his love...

"They tell me to abandon love, for that is not the way;
But love is in my nature, and in love I shall stay."
Khosrow & Shirin

Khosrow & Shirin

Shirin put on her golden gown upon hearing Khosrow's voice. “Grieve not,” she said, “for love rules over us. In the path of our love, the entire world is worth less than a single grain of barley. Sit a moment, and let your exhaustion fade.”

"I shall not turn from you, till my breath departs;
Like a shadow at your feet, we share our bounden hearts."
Vameq & Ozra

Vameq & Ozra

Ozra stepped outside the temple. Her eyes met Vameq's, and she stood still, gazing. Vameq, adorned with all virtues, became completely and hopelessly enamored at first sight. Their souls bonded in a quiet, unbreakable covenant.

"From that single glance, an inner storm did rise;
Igniting fields of affection, deep within their eyes."
Shah Jahan & Mumtaz Mahal

Shah Jahan & Mumtaz

Mumtaz Mahal asked: “Shah Jahan, what do you see in my eyes?” He answered: “The shining glow of love... My lady, I shall build you a monument of ivory and peacock feathers that your name may shine forever.” And thus, the Taj Mahal was born.

"The sanctuary of my eye is a nest for your grace;
Come down and make this heart your dwelling place."
Nebuchadnezzar & Amytis

Nebuchadnezzar & Amytis

To soothe Amytis’s longing for the lush green hills of her homeland, Nebuchadnezzar built the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon as a symbol of their covenant: “Upon the seven terraces of Babylon, I scatter the green flavors of your home... Amytis, my beloved guest.”

Homay & Homayoun
