hai bahut dino ki bat tha ek majnu or ek laila
kha baithe the teer najar ka dono pahla pahla
kismat thi do par ek thi jan ik duje par the kurban
ek shama thi ek parwana ek diwani ek diwana
jungle jungle basti basti majnu pyar ka mara
aatho pahar lagata rahta laila nam ka nara

laila laila pukaru mai ban me
mori laila basi mori man me
laila laila pukaru mai ban me
mori laila basi mori man me
ha dil ke aayine me hai tasvire yar
ho jab jara gardan jhukayi dekh li
laila laila pukaru mai ban me
mori laila basi mere man me
laila laila pukaru mai ban me
mori laila basi mere man me

pathar se na maro mere diwane ko
pathar se na maro mere diwane ko
do ghadi sun lo jara pyar ke afsane ko
haye pathar se na maro mere diwane ko

jan lelo meri ya mera kaleja lelo
jan lelo meri ya mera kaleja lelo
mere majnu ko na chedo meri dunia lelo
ho meri dunia lelo, haye meri dunia lelo
kaish ke badle me tyar hu mar jane ko
pathar se na maro mere diwane ko

ulfat ka maja hai ke jab wo bhi ho bekarar
dono taraf ho aag barabar lagi hui
dunia walo tumhe pyar ki duhai hai
dunia walo tumhe pyar ki duhai hai
sab kuch har ke jholi pasar ke
pyar ki bhikh lene aaj laila aayi hai
dunia walo tumhe pyar ki duhai hai
dunia walo tumhe pyar ki duhai hai

ho jaye jo majnu mera kya bigdega dunia tera
yar milade mera pyar hasade mera
pyar ki bhikh lene aaj laila aayi hai
dunia walo tumhe pyar ki duhai hai
lekin ye beraham jamana dilwalo ki bat na mana
laila majnu dono mar gaye marke bhi wo nam to kar gaye
jo nahi milte is jahan me mil jate hai aasman me

Long ago, a tale whispered on the wind,
Of Majnu and Laila, a love that would never end.
Their eyes met, arrows of longing took flight,
Two souls entwined, bathed in first light.

One fate, yet one soul, their hearts ablaze,
A candle, a moth, in love's winding maze.
He, a madman, she, a woman possessed,
Through forests and towns, by love's flame, blessed.
Majnu, love-struck, a wanderer's plight,
Eight times the day, Laila's name, his light.

Laila, Laila, I call in the wild,
My Laila dwells within, gentle and mild.
Laila, Laila, I call in the wild,
My Laila dwells within, gentle and mild.
In the mirror of my heart, her image resides,
When my neck bows low, her beauty presides.
Laila, Laila, I call in the wild,
My Laila dwells within, gentle and mild.
Laila, Laila, I call in the wild,
My Laila dwells within, gentle and mild.

Do not cast stones at my beloved,
Do not cast stones at my beloved,
Pause a moment, hear love's story, beloved.
Oh, do not cast stones at my beloved.

Take my life, or tear out my heart,
Take my life, or tear out my heart,
But do not touch my Majnu, take my world apart,
Oh, take my world, oh, take my world.
I am ready to die, for your cruel art,
Do not cast stones at my beloved.

The joy of love is when both hearts yearn,
When fire burns bright, on both sides to learn.
Oh, people of the world, I implore your grace,
Oh, people of the world, I implore your grace,
Having lost all, with a begging embrace,
Laila comes today, love's plea to trace.
Oh, people of the world, I implore your grace,
Oh, people of the world, I implore your grace.

If my Majnu finds solace, what sorrow for you?
Let my love be reunited, my heart anew.
Laila comes today, love's plea to trace,
Oh, people of the world, I implore your grace.
But this cruel world, heedless of lovers' plight,
Laila and Majnu, they perished in light.
Though never united in this earthly sphere,
They meet in the heavens, banishing fear.
