parda zara hatao parda zara hatao
to phir to phir koi bat ho to phir koi bat ho
aankhe jara milao aankhe jara milao
to phir to phir koi bat ho to phir koi bat ho

aane lagi hai tumko angdaiya udhar
shayad ke meri aah ka hone laga asar
aane lagi hai tumko angdaiya udhar
kya hal hai batao kya hal hai batao
to phir to phir koi bat ko
to phir koi bat ko parda zara hatao

ye kya sitam ke parda diwar ban gaya
tumko khabar kaha koi bimar ban gaya
ye kya sitam ke parda diwar ban gaya
aakar gale lagao aakar gale lagao
to phir to phir koi bat ho parda zara hatao
parda zara hatao to phir koi bat ho
to phir koi bat ho

Unveil the veil, just a little, unveil it now,
Then, only then, will true words somehow flow.
Meet my gaze, let your eyes meet mine, now,
Then, only then, true understanding will grow.

You begin to stretch, across the way,
Perhaps my sighs begin to hold their sway.
You begin to stretch, far away,
Tell me your state, tell me what you say,
Then, only then, true words will play,
Unveil the veil, without delay.

What cruelty, this veil, a wall between,
Unaware, a heart grows sick, unseen.
What cruelty, this wall, that you have weaved,
Embrace me now, let all be believed,
Then, only then, will our souls be relieved,
Unveil the veil, and be conceived.
Unveil the veil, then our words will meet,
Then our words will find their sweetest heat.
