laila majnu do badan ek jan the ek jan the
jajaba e ishk o wafa ki shan the
jajaba e ishk o wafa ki shan the
jajaba e ishk o wafa ki shan the shan the
laila majnu do badan ek jan the ek jan the

do kabile aamri or sardari jinme thi kuch to purani dusmani
un kabilo ki thi ye noor e njar jinke dil me kar liya ulfat ne ghar
or ye ulfat ibadat ban gayi hukm e rakt mansa kudrat ban gayi
maksad unka tauba ye ulfat bana ulfat bana ulfat bana
jalwa e rukh did ki jannat bana
jalwa e rukh did ki jannat bana jannat bana
laila majnu do badan ek jan the ek jan the

ek din maktabi mulla ne kaha sab likho takhti me nam allah ka
sabne likha majnu hi magar laila laila likh raha tha bekhabar
laila laila likh raha tha bekhabar aisi ek fariyad aa utha ko
kaise kahta khush or ilah ka usne majnu ko saja e sakht di
har saza ki dard laila par ladi har saja ki dard laila par ladi
maulwi khafa ye manjar dekh ke aap sharmida ho gaya is bhul par
pyar masumo ka ruswa ho gaya ja baja dono ka charcha ho gaya

jab suna laila ke walid ne ye hal sharam aayi or hua behad malal
usne laila se kaha martab na jaye
ghar ki chokhat se bahar kadam na laye
ek din bekar pahre ho gaye laila or majnu achanak kho gaye
dono sardaro ke waisihat chh gayi mayan se talwar bahar aa gayi
par jo gujre ek nahkmi sitan se
dekhte hi rah gaye hairan se hairan se
laila majnu khel me masrukh the laila majnu khel me masrukh the
walid majnu ne dekha gaur se or kaha laila ke walid se huzur
inke khelne ke din khelne do inke khelne ke din khelne do

tahas me laila ke walid ne kaha kal ik yahi khel ek bada ban jayega
bad dua hoga gharano ke liye shram ho ga khandano ke liye
ye gaddar khich kar laila ka hathle gaya is tarah usko apne sath
le gaya is tarah usko apne sath phir na koi dekhne aaya unhe
dekh na paya unhe jane kis basti me thahraya unhe
jane kis basti me thahraya unhe jane kis basti me thahraya unhe

Two bodies, Laila, Majnu, one soul they were, one soul.
The pride of love's fervor, of loyalty's whole.
The pride of love's fervor, of loyalty's whole.
The pride of love's fervor, of loyalty's whole, whole.
Two bodies, Laila, Majnu, one soul they were, one soul.

Two tribes, the Amiri, the Jin, old grudges they bore,
Yet love in their hearts, a home it did soar,
Love's light in their eyes, a home it did find,
This love became worship, a divine design.
Their purpose, repentance, this love's art,
The vision of beauty, a heavenly start.
The vision of beauty, a heavenly start, start.
Two bodies, Laila, Majnu, one soul they were, one soul.

One day, the schoolmaster, "Write God's name, all!"
All wrote, but Majnu, oblivious to all call,
Wrote only, "Laila, Laila," the name he'd embrace,
A plea arose in this sacred space.
How to bear the law, the divine command?
He punished Majnu, with a punishing hand.
Each wound, Laila felt, with a shared pain,
The cleric ashamed, by this scene was slain.
Love's innocence shamed, its purity marred,
Their story whispered, near and far.

When Laila's father learned of this plight,
Shame arose, a sorrowful night,
He said to Laila, "Never go forth,"
"From your home's threshold, beyond your north."
One day, the guards, their watch undone,
Laila and Majnu, their races run.
The chiefs enraged, their fury did flare,
Swords drawn from sheaths, in the air.
But passing through a simple plea,
They watched, bewildered, what they did see, see.
Laila and Majnu, in a game, they found grace,
Majnu's father watched, with a loving face,
He said to Laila's father, "Let them play,
Do not take them, drive them away."

In a rage, Laila's father then said,
"Tomorrow, this game, a great sorrow will spread,
A curse on the homes, a shame to be known,
This traitor, with Laila, he's flown."
He dragged her away, holding her hand,
Then none saw them, again in the land,
Where they were taken, in which abode?
Where they were taken, along life's road,
Where they were taken, where did they go?
