ghunghat utha ke na dekha
chumi na haatho ki mehandi
saji reh gayi sej meri
dil me rahi baat dil ki
milne ka ab silsila ye
khyaalo me chalta rahega

Veiled face, never unveiled,
The henna's kiss, unbestowed.
My bridal bed, forever adorned,
A whispered secret, love’s untold.

This meeting, now a phantom grace,
In realms of thought, it shall reside,
A spectral dance in memory's space,
Where longing lives, and dreams abide.
