makhmal ho ya tat ka parda makhmal ho ya tat ka parda
makhmal ho ya tat ka parda parda hai har hal me parda
parda hai har hal me parda makhmal ho ya tat ka parda
makhmal ho ya tat ka parda kahte dhan ki laz ke saye
kahte dhan ki laz ke saye kahe apna pap chhupaye
kahe apna pap chhupaye din hote hi sab khul jaye
din hote hi sab khul jaye raz to hai zazbat ka parda
dhundh raha kyu rat ka parda tan ko apne man se dho le

rakh le apni bat ka parda parda hai har hal me parda
makhmal ho ya tat ka parda makhmal ho ya tat ka parda
manav kyu manav se ruthe manav kyu manav se ruthe
insa kyu insa ko lute insa kyu insa ko lute
kisi ke man ka tar na tute kisi ke man ka tar na tute
shisha ae dil ehsas ka parda ye jivan ek aash ka parda
pal do pal hai teri hasti pal do pal hai sans ka parda

sukh kar man ke karan chhute janam janam ka phera
karam hi tera darpan baba karam hi parda tera
parda hai har hal me parda makhmal ho ya tat ka parda
makhmal ho ya tat ka parda sant bali avtar payambar
sant bali avtar payambar sari duniya jinse muniwar
sari duniya jinse muniwar zinda hai jo aaj bhi mar kar
zinda hai jo aaj bhi mar kar pas bhi hai aur dur ka parda
maut hai is dukh dur ka parda duniya duniya karne wale
duniya duniya karne wale tod na dil ke nur ka parda
ye takadir ye khudi ka balpan rah jayega rah jayega
ye tan ka aakhiri fanda kapat rah jayega

Velvet or burlap, a curtain it remains,
a veil in every state, a veil it feigns.
They say wealth shields, hiding shame's embrace,
why conceal sins, in this fleeting space?
Why conceal sins, when dawn's light appears,
revealing all, silencing all fears?
The heart's emotion, the true secret kept,
why seek the night, where sorrow has slept?
Wash your soul clean, let your spirit gleam.

Guard your words, the truth you now retain,
a veil in every state, a veil to gain.
Why does man war with fellow man's plight,
why does one steal, denying the light?
May no heart's chord ever break in twain,
the heart's mirror, where feelings remain.
This life is hope, a brief, fleeting show,
moments we breathe, and then we go.

Joy departs, for reasons we embrace,
birth after birth, the veil we replace.
Karma's the mirror, reflecting the soul,
a veil in every state, making us whole.
Velvet or burlap, a curtain's design,
saints, the prophets, their light does enshrine,
the world they embraced, their spirits so pure,
alive today, though they've passed, to endure.
Near and far, a veil the senses hide,
death a distance, where sorrows reside.
You who chase worlds, and their fleeting charm,
shatter not the light, causing harm.
Fate, ego, the frailties we see,
will remain, and the body will flee.
Deceit lingers, at life's final end.
