A tale of an age,
When Majnu, love-struck, strayed.
Through Laila's lanes,
His heart, a captive, played.
A tale of that time,
When Majnu's soul took flight.
Through Laila's streets,
He wandered in the night.
His nights were vibrant hues,
Each dawn a sweet refrain.
He whispered to the world,
"To Laila, I'll remain."
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila spoke to Majnu, "Alas,
Why do you come this way?
Singing songs in the dark,
Disturbing night and day.
I do not approve
Of your presence near my door.
You'll lose all that you have,
And gain nothing more."
But Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why torment me, endlessly?
Laila, oh Laila,
Why hide your face from me?
Laila, oh Laila…
