kahana ek divana terii yad men aahen bharata hai
likh kar tera nam zamin par us ko sajade karata hai
shakh gireban khaq basar phirta hai sunii raahon mei
sayo ko lipatata hai aur laila laila karata hai

teri ek jhalak kii khatir jaan aankho me ataki hai
ji ka aisa hal hua hai jita hai na marata hai
kud ko bhul gaya hai lekin terii yad nahiin bhulaa
dil ke jitane zakm hain un mei tera hii aqs ubharata hai
likh kar tera nam zamiin par

kahna mere diivane se laila terii amanat hai
teri baho mei dam degi tu jis ka dam bharta hai
dil ke jitne zakm hai un mei tera hi aqs ubharata hai
sadake jaau is qasid par jis se ye paigam mila
mera qatil mera masiha ab bhi mujh par marata hai
mera qatil mera masiha mera masiiha mera qatil
mera qatil mera masiiha ab bhii mujh par marata hai
laila laila laila laila

A madman, they say, sighs for you, each breath a plea,
Writes your name on earth, then bows, a devotee.
Torn sleeves, dust his cloak, he wanders, lost and bare,
Embracing shadows, whispers "Layla, Layla" in despair.

For a glimpse of you, his life hangs by a thread,
A state of being, neither living nor truly dead.
He's lost himself, but not the memory of you,
In every wound of his heart, your image shines anew.
Writes your name on earth...

Tell my mad lover, Layla is your sacred trust,
In your arms she'll find her breath, in whom your heart does burst.
In every wound of his heart, your image shines anew,
I bow to the messenger, who brings this news so true:
My killer, my healer, still, he dies for me, it's plain.
My killer, my healer, my healer, my killer, again.
My killer, my healer, still, he dies for me, in pain.
Layla, Layla, Layla, Layla.
