Hello, oh hello, a cry in the void,
Laila, Laila, Laila, a name deployed.
Oh Laila, your lover, in search of your face,
Oh Laila, your lover, through time and through space.

What is this world, this grand, tragic stage?
A madhouse it is, in a perpetual rage.
Within this madhouse, another one sleeps,
A deeper madness the universe keeps.
What is this world, a question we keep,
A madhouse it is, where the shadows creep.
All those outside, one day must descend,
Oh Laila, your lover, his journey to end.
Oh Laila, your lover, the quest to attend.
All those outside, their journey must end.

Somewhere, not here, or perhaps over there,
Where, where can she be, beyond all compare?
Not here, not there, a phantom so fleet,
Not there, not here, a bittersweet treat.
On Yamuna's banks, your lover does seek,
On Yamuna's banks, the secrets they speak,
On Yamuna's banks, your lover will find,
Within this heart, or a home left behind.
Somewhere, a fire, a burning desire,
Oh, smoke, only smoke, is all that we acquire.

In this fire, all must surrender their light,
A madhouse it is, in the darkest of night.
Within this madhouse, another one sleeps,
Oh, all those outside, the soul's secrets it keeps.
Oh Laila, your lover, the quest to attend,
Oh Laila, your lover, his journey to end.
We're lovers, not mad, though passion may burn,
We're birds of the soul, for freedom we yearn.
We're lovers, not mad, though passion may burn,
We're birds of the soul, for freedom we yearn.
We will take flight, on wings of our own,
Bind us, if you dare, your chains to be shown.
Bring forth your chains, your shackles of might,
Bind us, if you can, and hold back the light.

To understand us is a difficult quest,
A madhouse it is, put to the test.
Within this madhouse, another one sleeps,
Oh, all those outside, the soul's secrets it keeps.
Oh Laila, your lover, the quest to attend,
Oh Laila, your lover, his journey to end.
What is this world, a grand tragic plea?
A madhouse it is, for you and for me.
Within this madhouse, another one sleeps,
All those outside, one day must descend,
Oh Laila, your lover, his journey to end.
Oh Laila, your lover, the quest to attend.
All those outside, their journey must end.
