Ablah Plot summary: A magnificent celebration was held for the
wedding of Antar and Ablah. The group was surprised on the wedding
night when the governess of Antar and Ablah declared they were
siblings and that marriage was forbidden to them. Antar was overcome
with sadness. He went into the desert where he encountered a band of
Arabs under attack by the Romans. Antar observed in their ranks a
brave warrior captured by the Romans after a fierce battle. The news
reached his family and clan and they rushed to help him fight the
Romans. They were joined by other Arab tribes. After a violent fight
between these united Arab tribes and the Romans the matter ended with
an Arab victory. The governess admitted she had fabricated the story
that Antar and Ablah were siblings because of the demand by the prince
who had hired her to separate the lovers because he wanted to marry
Ablah. In the end the lovers returned to each other and married.
