A heartbeat blooms, kohl-dark eyes now sway,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
A heartbeat blooms, kohl-dark eyes now sway,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say.

To your door, a lover, color bright, will come,
To your door, a lover, color bright, will come,
In trembling fear, in trembling fear,
The veil will softly succumb,
Veiled lashes lift, for love's sweet hum,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
A heartbeat blooms, kohl-dark eyes now sway,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say.

Silently become your love's own soul,
Silently become your love's own soul,
If questioned, if questioned,
No name will you now unfold,
As secret friends, their hidden bliss enroll,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
A heartbeat blooms, kohl-dark eyes now sway,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say.

Come, O monsoon, the fair one will not part,
Come, O monsoon, the fair one will not part,
Become the rain, become the rain,
A cloud's embrace, a work of art,
Today, spring dances in my heart,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say,
A heartbeat blooms, kohl-dark eyes now sway,
Hidden in veils, the nightingale will say.
