    1. In context of this couplet, what you’re saying (cover up- to avoid embarassment) is right.

      But in isolation, ‘bhram’ or ‘bharam’ does mean delusion, or ‘being under an illusion’

  1. Isn’t ‘Bharam’ the ‘Bharam-Daari’ wala ‘Bharam’, which means state of being a respectful being? We use it like “Tumhari baat ka kuch asar nahi hota uspar, ek paise ki BharamDaari nahi hain tumhari”, As it also means Respect(Izzat)
    So in this context could it be, “Kuch toh mere pindar e mohabbat ki izzat rakh”?

    Im from Allahabad UP, so the meaning of a Pakistani poet’s verse, who’s from Kohat, could be different.
