baat hai uss samay ki jab
majnoo thaa kuchh diwaana
laila ki galiyon se thaa
uska aanaa jaana
baat hai uss samay ki jab
majnoo thaa kuchh diwaana
laila ki galiyon se thhaa
uska aanaa jaana

raaten uski rangeen thee
aur har din tha suhaana
wo sabse kehta rehta
mujhey laila kaa ho jaanaa
laila oh laila
tu saamne kyun na aaye
laila oh laila
kyun mujhko yun sataaye laila

laila boli majnu haaye
kyun tu yahaan pe aaye
raaton ko gaane gaaye
aur logo ko sataye
mujhko to na bhata hai
tera yahaan pe aana
tune sab kuch kho dena
tune kuch nahi hai pana
par laila oh laila
tu saamne kyun na aaye
laila oh laila
kyun mujhko yun sataye laila

laila oh laila
tu saamne kyun na aaye
laila oh laila
kyun mujhko yun sataaye laila

laila oh laila
tu saamne kyun na aaye
laila oh laila
kyun mujhko yun sataaye laila
laila oh laila
tu saamne kyun na aaye
laila oh laila

A tale of an age,
When Majnu, love-struck, strayed.
Through Laila's lanes,
His heart, a captive, played.
A tale of that time,
When Majnu's soul took flight.
Through Laila's streets,
He wandered in the night.

His nights were vibrant hues,
Each dawn a sweet refrain.
He whispered to the world,
"To Laila, I'll remain."
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?

Laila spoke to Majnu, "Alas,
Why do you come this way?
Singing songs in the dark,
Disturbing night and day.
I do not approve
Of your presence near my door.
You'll lose all that you have,
And gain nothing more."
But Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?

Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila…
