jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi
ye duniya magar tujh si bholi nahi hai
chupa kar mohabbat ko rusva karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi

badi koshisho se badi kavisho se
tamnna ki sahmi hui sajisho se
badi koshisho se badi kavisho se
tamnna ki sahmi hui sajisho se
milega jo mauka to baichain hokar
milega jo mauka to baichain hokar
daricho se tum mujhko dekha karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi

satayegi jab chandni ki udasi
dukhayegi dil jab fiza ki khamoshi
satayegi jab chandani ki udasi
dukhayegi dil jab fiza ki khamoshi
ufak ki taraf khali nazre jamakar
ufak ki taraf khali nazre jamakar
kabhi jo na socha wo socha karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi

kabi dil ki dhadkan mehsus hogi
kabhi thandi saanso me tufa uthenge
kabhi dil ki dhadkan mehsus hogi
kabhi thandi saanso me tufa uthenge
kabhi girke bistar pe aahe bharegi
kabhi girke bistar pe aahe bharegi
kabhi jhuk ke takiye pe roya karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi

jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi
ye duniya magar tujh si bholi nahi hai
chupa kar mohabbat ko rusva karogi
jawani ke hile haya ke bahaane
ye maana ki tum mujh se parda karogi

Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.
But this world, alas, is not as naive,
To hide love's flame, is to let it grieve.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.

With grand efforts, with longing's art,
From desire's veiled, trembling start,
With grand efforts, with longing's art,
From desire's veiled, trembling start,
When chance arrives, with restless grace,
From windows, you'll seek my face.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.

When moonlight's sorrow starts to sting,
When the air's hush makes your heart sing,
When moonlight's sorrow starts to sting,
When the air's hush makes your heart sing,
Toward the horizon, your gaze will roam,
And thoughts will bloom you'd never known.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.

At times, your heart's beat you'll feel,
At times, cold breaths, your wounds reveal.
At times, your heart's beat you'll feel,
At times, cold breaths, your wounds reveal.
Upon the bed, you'll weep and sigh,
Upon your pillow, tears you'll cry.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.

Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.
But this world, alas, is not as naive,
To hide love's flame, is to let it grieve.
Beneath youth's veil, modesty's plea,
You vow to hide your heart from me.
