bemurawwat tumhe samjhenge jamane wale humse phero na nazar
dil ko churane wale aaye bhi ho to khiche baithe ho
khanjar ki tarha taki katate rahe sine se lagane wale

parde me koi baitha hai parda karke
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke
allah main sadke jau aisi najar ke
allah main sadke jau aisi najar ke
kyun ki parde me, parde me, parde me, parde me
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke

parde pe parda, chilman pe chilman
jaise chupi ho ghunghat me dulhan
parde pe parda, chilman pe chilman
jaise chhupi ho ghunghat me dulhan
tujhsa mehbub meri jaan jamane me nahi
jo batane me maja hai wo chhupane me nahi

dekhenge hum bhi chupta hai
kab tak koi bachake yu hamnse daman
tutega parda chutega parda, najre milenge dil dhadkega
pyar ke shole fir bhadkenge
dekhenge, dekhenge, dekhenge, dekhenge
dekhenge apne jani ko ji bhar bhar ke
dekhenge apne jani ko ji bhar bhar ke
allah main sadke jaun aisi najar ke
allah main sadke jaun aisi najar ke
kyun ki parde me, parde me, parde me, parde me
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke

raz ki baate kehna hai tumko, dil me humare rehna hai tumko
raz ki baate kehna hai tumko, dil me humare rehna hai tumko
apne jalwe meri najro pe lutana hoga
aaj to tumko mere samne aana hoga
darde jigar bhi mithi kasak bhi fir hans hans ke sehna hai tumko
kitna bachoge, kitna bachoge, mera tumhara samna hoga
hathon se dil ko thamna hoga milte ho, milte ho, milte ho
milte ho kyu apne yaro se dar dar ke
milte ho kyu apne yaro se dar dar ke
alla main sadke jaun aisi najar ke
alla main sadke jaun aisi najar ke
kyun ki parde me, parde me, parde me, parde me
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke
parde me koi baitha hai parda karke

They who judge without grace, turn their faces from us,
You, who steal the heart, arrive with a dagger drawn.
To wound those who yearn to embrace.

Behind a veil, someone sits veiled,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Because behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled.

Veil on veil, curtain on curtain,
Like a bride concealed in her bridal veil.
Veil on veil, curtain on curtain,
Like a bride concealed in her bridal veil.
A beloved like you, my dear, is nowhere to be found,
The joy of revealing surpasses the beauty of hiding.

We shall see, we shall see,
How long can one evade us, thus concealing?
The veil shall break, the veil shall fall, eyes will meet, hearts will pound,
The flames of love will then ignite,
We shall see, we shall see, we shall see, we shall see,
We shall see our beloved, to our heart’s content,
We shall see our beloved, to our heart’s content,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Because behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled.

The secrets of the heart, I must tell you, in my heart, you must reside,
The secrets of the heart, I must tell you, in my heart, you must reside,
Your radiant presence must be bestowed upon my sight,
Today, you must come forth before me,
The pain of the heart, the sweet ache, you must endure with laughter,
How much will you hide, how much will you hide? Our meeting is destined,
You will have to hold your heart with your hands, you meet, you meet, you meet,
Why fear your companions, when you meet,
Why fear your companions, when you meet,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Oh, I would sacrifice myself to such a gaze,
Because behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil, behind the veil,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled,
Behind a veil, someone sits veiled.
