chakkar pe chakkar daw tera daw lagaya tune har baar
aisa chalaya daw mera jane kab dubi teri naw
parde ki piche parda re parda kya karta parda re

chehro pe chehre khelo pe khel
kaise ye chakkar kaise ye mel
aisa khiladi khela to khel
how dare touch ko khelo ke jail
parde ki piche parda re
parda kya karta parda re

maya hai maya maya har bar
maya ki nafrat maya ka pyar
jana tha tune maya ke bahar
maya me khoya tera sansar
maine dekha tujhe kahe dekha mujhe
parde ke piche parde ke piche
parde ki piche parda re
parda kya karta parda re
parde ki piche parda re
parda kya karta parda re
parde ki piche parda re
parda kya karta parda re

A spiral of schemes, your game, again you cast,
Each time, the die, my soul, a ship surpassed,
Sank in the depths, unknowing where you tread,
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?

Faces upon faces, games within a game,
How does this cycle, how does this all claim?
Such a player, you played the heart's own plight,
How dare you touch the game, a prison's night,
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?

Illusion, it is illusion, every turn,
Illusion's hate, illusion's love to burn,
You had to flee beyond illusion's hold,
The world you knew, illusion had sold,
I saw you, why then did you see me?
Behind the veil, behind the veil's decree,
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?
Behind the veil, a veil, what does it spread?
