lakh parde me chhupo log nazar rakhte hai
ham bhi so parde ke pichhe ki khabar rakhte hai
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
kab tak rahega parde me jalwa
parda utha ke aisa jalwa dikha de le
phir mai kisi ka kabhi dekhuna jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa

parda hai parda mera ye parda
parda hai parda mera ye parda
rahne do parda parda hai acha
parda uthane ki kosis na karna
parda hataya to ho jayega palwa
parda hai parda mera ye parda
parda hai parda mera ye parda

zamanae se tumhe ham jante hai
tumhari har najar pahchante hai
nigaho se meri bachna hai muskil
ke ab is parde me chhupna hai mushkil
bhawar hai agar kasti kinara kya hoga
nishane par hamare ho tumhara kya hoga
chhuri ham hai katari bhi khanjar hai to aari bhi
chhuri ham hai katari bhi khanjar hai to aari bhi
tumko bhijwa dunga mai jhumritalaiya

jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
parda utha ke aisa jalwa dikha de
ke phir na dekhu mai kisi ka jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa

meri ankh pe ek parda pada hai
galat hai baat phir bhi tu ada hai
nishana tu nahi mere sitam ka
ye behatar hai mere raste se hat ja
agar kabhi mujhse uljhe to muh ki khaoge
o diwane aana tum manae to ja se jaoge
shikari hu pakad lungi shikanje me jakad lungi
shikari hu pakad lungi sihkanje me jakad lungi
khir hu tedhi mujhe samjho na halwa

parda hai parda mera ye parda rahne do parda parda hai acha
parda uthane ki kosis na karna
parda hataya to ho jayega palwa
parda hai parda mera ye parda parda hai parda mera ye parda

har bala naam mera sunte hi dar jati hai
dekh kar mujhko kayamat bhi thahar jati hai
is tarah tu na chahak is tarah tu na matak
mere ghere me hai tu mere fande me hai tu
mujhse tu chaal na chal war karta hu sambhal
mai hu tufani hawa mai hu ek mauj-e-bala
mai hu bijli ki kadak mai hu badal ki garaj
aandhi hai naam mera zalzala naam mera
mai hu selabi kaza pal me kar dungi fanah
meri talwar se bach akhiri war se bach
na aage badh nigahe padh nigahe padh na aage badh
na aage badh nigahe padh nigahe padh na aage badh
parda hai parda mera ye parda
are na nikal jayega hatho se nalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
parda utha ke aisa jalwa dikha de
ke phir na dekhu mai kisi ka jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa

jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa
jalwa ye jalwa tera ye jalwa

Though veiled, eyes pursue, relentless gaze,
And I, too, hold secrets, in a hundred mazes.
This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display,
How long shall you linger, veiled in this way?
Unveil it, reveal such a vibrant grace,
Then I'll never again seek another's face.
This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display.

A veil, a veil, this veil of mine,
Let it remain, the veil's design.
Do not attempt to lift its hold,
For if unveiled, torment unfolds.
A veil, a veil, this veil of mine.

I know you, through epochs' long stride,
Each glance of yours, I can't hide.
From my gaze, to elude, is a feat,
Now, from this veil, retreat.
If a whirlpool swirls, what shore will meet?
If you're in my aim, your fate will be sweet?
I am a blade, a dagger, a sharpened shear,
To Jhumritalaiyya, I'll send you in fear.

This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display,
Unveil it, reveal it, in a vibrant way,
That I may never seek another's ray.
This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display.

A veil has fallen on my sight,
Though wrong, you persist in the fight.
You are not the target of my cruel plight,
It's best to depart from my path, take flight.
If ever you clash, you'll meet your disgrace,
Oh, mad one, depart this sacred space.
I'm a hunter, I'll seize, in my grasp I'll bind,
I am rice pudding, don't think I am a treat.

A veil, a veil, this veil of mine, let it be.
Do not attempt to lift the mystery.
For if unveiled, torment will decree.
A veil, a veil, this veil of mine.

Every curse, at my name, does fear,
Seeing me, even Judgment stays near.
Do not sing so, do not sway with such flair,
You are within my circle, my snare.
Do not scheme with me, I strike with war,
I am the stormy wind, a wave of lore.
I am lightning's flash, thunder's call,
My name is the tempest, the earthquake's fall.
I am the flood's decree, in a moment I'll slay,
From my sword, escape, from the last strike, stay.
Do not advance, read the eyes, read the eyes, do not advance.
A veil, a veil, this veil of mine.
Oh, lest a lie slip from your line!
This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display,
Unveil it, reveal it, in a vibrant way,
That I may never seek another's ray.
This splendor, your splendor, a radiant display.
