aata hai yaad mujhko gujara huaa jamana
aata hai yaad mujhko gujara huaa jamana
tu thi meri diwaani main tha tera diwaana
tu thi meri diwaani main tha tera diwaana
aata hai yaad mujhko gujara huaa jamana

chanda ki chandani me tu so rahi thi gori
aakar teri gali me siti mera bajana
aata hai yaad mujhko gujara huaa jamana

khidaki me tera aake chhupchhup ke muskurana
ab tere ho chuke ham ye kah ke bhag jaana
aata hai yaad mujhko gujara huaa jamana

ik din khabar ye aana
tu ban gayi hai dilbar
doli me tera jaana ro ro ke mera gana
laila laila pukaarun main ban me
meri laila basi mere man me
laila laila pukaarun main ban me
meri laila basi mere man me
laila laila pukaarun main ban me

The ghosts of time, they whisper to my ear,
Of yesteryears, a love I held so dear.
You, my mad lover, I, your willing slave,
The ghosts of time, their echoes in the wave.

Beneath the moon, your slumber, fair and bright,
I’d whistle in your lane, a serenade of light.
The ghosts of time, a haunting, sweet refrain.

Your smile, a secret, framed within your sill,
Then, "We are yours," you whispered, running still.
The ghosts of time, their sorrow and their stain.

The news arrived, a crushing, bitter blow,
You wed another, and my heart did know
The death of love. Your carriage, it did roll,
My cries, a lament for my captured soul.
Laila, Laila, in the wilderness I call,
My Laila dwells within my heart's deep wall.
Laila, Laila, in the wilderness I call,
My Laila dwells within my heart's deep wall.
Laila, Laila, in the wilderness I call.
