Akeli Laila Lyrics
[Chorus]
Laila Laila Laila Laila, le chal apna pehla
Pehla pyaar hai yeh phaila
Laila Laila Laila Laila, ab chal tu mera
Pehla pyaar, jo sab pe hai bhaari zara
[Verse 1]
Mere naam ka tattoo banake, photo purse mein chhupake
Peeche aage chalte hain deewane kai
Sabhi aashiq lagte hain purane, nigaah kahin aur nishaan par
Ek dil hai jo mera, kisko doon main yeh toh mushkil hai
Majnuon ke jhund mein akeli Laila main hi toh hoon
[Hook]
Mera dil ek tohfa hai, kisko doon main sach mein
Iss bheed mein reh gayi akeli Laila main
[Rap – Paradox]
Gola bhara zabardast khilawat
Cola jaisa mix-up, thoda milawat
Fantastic, bombastic hai banawat
Gir rahi hai vaari, bigdi hai rawayat
Purani baaton ka na do hawala
Mohabbat hi hai jo rehti hai sadaa salaamat
[Verse 2]
Sabki nazron se bachna hai,
Phone ghar se bajta hai baar-baar
Yahan har koi banta hai hero,
Par bachaye kaun mujhko inke shahar se?
Ghoonghat bhi na kholun main saamne,
Majnu ki bheed mein akeli Laila main
[Chorus – Repeat]
Arre o Laila, kitne hero aaj paas hai tere
Ek hi to dil hai mera, kisko doon main inke beech
Majnuon ke jhund mein akeli Laila main hi toh hoon
[Outro]
Ek hi dil hai mera, kisko doon bata
Majnu ki bheed mein phans gayi Laila
Aur har aashiq ek villain lagta
Hindi to English Translation
[Chorus]
लैला लैला लैला लैला, ले चल अपना पहला
Laila, Laila, take me with you, your first love begins here.
पहला प्यार है ये फैला
This first love is spreading everywhere.
लैला लैला लैला लैला, अब चल तू मेरा
Laila, Laila, now you come with me.
पहला प्यार, जो सब पे है भारी ज़रा
This love feels powerful, stronger than all.
[Verse 1]
मेरे नाम का टैटू बनाके, फोटो पर्स में छुपाके
With my name tattooed, hiding my photo in the purse.
पीछे आगे चलते हैं दीवाने कई
Many crazy lovers follow me from all sides.
सभी आशिक लगते हैं पुराने, निगाह कहीं और निशान पर
All the lovers look outdated, eyes wander elsewhere while aiming here.
एक दिल है जो मेरा, किसको दूं मैं ये तो मुश्किल है
I only have one heart, it’s hard to decide whom to gift it to.
मजनुओं के झुंड में अकेली लैला मैं ही तो हूं
In the crowd of Majnus, I’m the only Laila standing alone.
[Hook]
मेरा दिल एक तोहफ़ा है, किसको दूं मैं सच में
My heart is like a gift, but whom should I truly give it to?
इस भीड़ में रह गई अकेली लैला मैं
In this crowd, I remain the lone Laila.
[Rap – Paradox]
गोला भरा ज़बरदस्त खिलावट
Explosive vibes, loaded with power.
कोला जैसा मिक्स-अप, थोड़ी मिलावट
Mixed up like cola, with a twist of flavor.
फैंटास्टिक, बमबास्टिक है बनावट
Fantastic, bombastic, stylish creation.
गिर रही है वारी, बिगड़ी है रवायत
The fall is near, traditions are breaking.
पुरानी बातों का ना दो हवाला
Don’t bring up old sayings anymore.
मोहब्बत ही है जो रहती है सदा सलामत
Only love survives forever, safe and strong.
[Verse 2]
सबकी नज़रों से बचना है
I must escape from everyone’s eyes.
फोन घर से बजता है बार-बार
Phones keep ringing nonstop from home.
यहाँ हर कोई बनता है हीरो
Here everyone pretends to be a hero.
पर बचाए कौन मुझको इनके शहर से?
But who will save me from their city?
घूंघट भी ना खोलूं मैं सामने
Even in front of them, I won’t lift my veil.
मजनू की भीड़ में अकेली लैला मैं
In the crowd of Majnus, I remain Laila alone.
[Chorus – Repeat]
अरे ओ लैला, कितने हीरो आज पास हैं तेरे
Oh Laila, so many heroes surround you today.
एक ही तो दिल है मेरा, किसको दूं मैं इनके बीच
I only have one heart, whom should I give it to among them?
मजनुओं के झुंड में अकेली लैला मैं ही तो हूं
In the mob of lovers, I am the lone Laila.
[Outro]
एक ही दिल है मेरा, किसको दूं बता
I only have one heart, tell me whom to give it to.
मजनू की भीड़ में फंस गई लैला
Laila is trapped in the crowd of Majnus.
और हर आशिक एक विलन लगता
And every lover feels like a villain in disguise.
