Laila o Laila

sketch made by Rahima Ziad

Laila, O beautiful Laila
Come, let me take you to see the sights
O high and mighty Laila
It’s been so long and you haven’t returned
Your memories have made me go blind with weeping
The beauty of your forehead ornament…
Has made me fall madly in love with you
The sorrow of your separation…
Has made my eyes go blind with tears
It’s been a year since you went away
This land is fertile and abundant
And Quetta is our home
The parting of your hair is so clear and exquisite
That my heart just melts to see it
Laila, I willingly give up my life for you
