1/4: naqaab

mujh ko ye aarzoo

woh uThaayein naqaab khud

un ko ye intezaar

taqaaza kare koyi

it is my desire

that she lifts the veil herself

and she waits for

someone to request

2/4: naqaab

aankhen khuda ne di hain

to dekhenge husn-e-yaar

kab tak naqaab

rukh se uthaayi na jaayegi

god has given us eyes

to view the beauty of the beloved

how long will the veil

not be lifted from the face

3/4: naqaab

dekhe baghair

haal ye hai izteraab ka

kya jaane kya ho

parda jo uThe naqaab ka

even without seeing

if there is such restlessness

not sure what would happen

if the veil were to be lifted

4/4: naqaab

ulTi ik haath se

naqaab unki

ek se apne dil ko

thaam liya

with one hand

i lifted her veil

with the other

i held my heart
