ḳhuub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe haiñ
saaf chhupte bhī nahīñ sāmne aate bhī nahīñ
what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display
KHub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe hain
saf chhupte bhi nahin samne aate bhi nahin
what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display
from the Ghazal "uzr aane mein bhi hai aur bulate bhi nahin" by Dagh Dehlvi
