aaj saj ke nikli hai meri laila meri laila meri laila
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya
bemausam hogi baarish bemausam hogi baarish
bemausam hogi baarish jaise sawan
jaise sawan ka mahina aa gya
arey aaj saj ke nikli hai meri laila meri laila meri laila
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya

chaal me uski ek nasha hai jo na hoga kisi botal me
aankho se uski barse hai shole
jaise bijli chamke badal me
wo lagti hai wo lagti hai ek kayamat
ek kayamat ek kayamat jise dekh ke
mujhko jeena aa gaya
jise dekh ke mujhko jeena aa gaya
aaj saj ke nikli hai meri laila meri laila meri laila
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya
ke logo ko paseena aa gaya

My Laila steps out, adorned, my Laila, my Laila,
And a sweat breaks on the brows of the crowd.
A rain, unseasonal, a rain, unseasonal,
Like the monsoon's heart, has descended now.
Oh, my Laila steps out, adorned, my Laila, my Laila,
And a sweat breaks on the brows of the crowd.

In her gait, a intoxication, found in no bottle,
From her eyes, embers burst forth, burning bright,
Like lightning flashes in the clouds, in the storm.
She seems a resurrection, a reckoning, a revelation,
Whose glimpse gives me a reason, a reason to live,
To live again, with a newfound light.
My Laila steps out, adorned, my Laila, my Laila,
And a sweat breaks on the brows of the crowd.
