laila laila ho laila laila laila ho laila
laila laila ho laila tera hai jo chaila
leke band aur baja aayega banke raja
hai idhar bhi saari ab hamari taiyari
usko hai sharbat kadwa pilana
paan me hai use mirchi khilana
usko aate daal ka bhav hai samjhana

shayad bechare ka wo haal ho
pehchaan paye na barati bhi
huliya jo dekhe to hasne lage
dulha ke gharwale aur sathi bhi
ham chupauege churake jute unke
bigde to unsuni karenge sabki
uske liye to jaal hamne rakhe kai bunke
laila laila ho laila laila laila ho laila

ye bhi to mumkin hai bechare ko
hum dekhe to hamko accha lage
sidha sa bhola sa masoom sa
golu molu sa baccha lage
wo pasand aa gaya jo humke bahna
baad me bura bhala na humko kaehna
fir milega na tum ko wo khayal ye rakhna

laila laila ho laila laila laila ho laila
laila laila ho laila tera hai jo chaila
leke band aur baja aayega banke raja
hai idhar bhi saari ab hamari taiyari
usko hai sharbat kadwa pilana
paan me hai use mirchi khilana
usko aate daal ka bhav hai samjhana
laila laila ho laila laila laila ho laila
laila laila ho laila aayega banke raja

Laila, Laila, oh Laila, Laila, Laila, oh Laila
Laila, Laila, oh Laila, yours is the cherished one.
With drums and fanfare, he shall arrive, a king in guise,
Here too, all preparations are underway, a secret enterprise.

We'll offer him a bitter draught to taste,
And in his betel leaf, a chili's fiery haste.
The value of life's simple bread, we will impart,
Perhaps the poor soul will be torn apart.

He might not recognize his wedding band,
His appearance a jest, across the land.
His family and friends, they will laugh and sneer,
We'll hide his shoes, the truth we'll not revere.
When he gets angry, we'll feign deaf ears.
For him, a web of traps we have spun with cheers.
Laila, Laila, oh Laila, Laila, Laila, oh Laila

But it's also possible, the poor soul may
When we see him, we might find him okay.
Simple, innocent, a heart so pure,
A chubby, endearing child to endure.
If he wins our hearts, sister, be warned,
Do not later hold grudges, never scorned.
Remember, this chance may not return, so hold fast.

Laila, Laila, oh Laila, Laila, Laila, oh Laila
Laila, Laila, oh Laila, yours is the cherished one.
With drums and fanfare, he shall arrive, a king in guise,
Here too, all preparations are underway, a secret enterprise.
We'll offer him a bitter draught to taste,
And in his betel leaf, a chili's fiery haste.
The value of life's simple bread, we will impart,
Laila, Laila, oh Laila, Laila, Laila, oh Laila
Laila, Laila, oh Laila, he shall arrive as king.
