chhupane vaale saamane aa
chhup chhup ke meraa ji na jalaa
suraj se kiran baadal se pavan
kab talak chhupegi ye to bataa
chhupane vaale saamane aa

aa lipati hai dil se mere
zulf teri balakhaai hui
dekh rahaa hun teri nazar
apani nazar tak aa_i hui
gaalo par zulfe na giraa
tu hai qayaamat mai hun balaa
chhupane vaale saamane aa

aakhir tere naaz ki ye
haar nahi to aur hai kyaa
daud ke aanaa paas mere
pyaar nahi to aur hai kyaa
dur khadi hairaan hai kyaa
daanto me yun ugali na dabaa
chhupane vaale saamane aa

The hider, step forth from the veil,
No more in shadows, let my spirit not wail.
The sun's bright ray, the wind's soft art,
Tell me, how long will you keep apart?
The hider, step forth from the veil...

Bound to my heart, your tresses swirl,
I see your gaze, a reaching pearl,
Upon your cheeks, let no shadow fall,
You are the doom, and I, the thrall.
The hider, step forth from the veil...

This coyness, what is it, then,
If not defeat, again and again?
To rush to me, with eager pace,
What is it, if not love's embrace?
Standing distant, lost in fear,
Do not bite your finger, my dear.
The hider, step forth from the veil...
