What can I tell of love's true tale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?
Nurtured by tears, a life's frail bloom,
What is this youth, this fleeting gale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?

I've seen Majnun weep for Layla's shade,
I've seen Farhad in death's slumber laid,
In dust, Romeo's corpse, a writhing plight,
Juliet embraced a dagger's blade.
What can I tell of love's true tale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?

Heer, with a smile, embraced the poison's kiss,
Ranjha, with laughter, summoned death's abyss,
For Tiptuser, Wingser's love I've seen,
Beneath beauty's feet, the world's despotic bliss.
What can I tell of love's true tale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?

O world, O world,
Still love's heart weeps in pain,
Still in this world,
Torment falls on love again.
Hearts that weep ignite the world's despair,
Love's tears in torrents, everywhere.
A storm it is, what are these tears we cry?
What can I tell of love's true tale?
What can I tell of love's true tale?
