body: I am currently writing a short 10 minute play adaptation of Layla and Majnun, a poem written in the 12th century by Nizami. To do this I am making use of an English translation of the Persian poem by Rudolph Gelpke with Zia Inayat Khan and Omad Safi. 
  
  
  Throughout the play, I wish to use direct quotations or slightly altered quotations from the translated text. Is this allowed?
