How fully wrapped you appear!
How wholly draped you are!
However, you are to me naked.
Your pallu round the lean arm
Hides from me your flat
belly.
Your pallu thrown over
shoulder,
Close to neck gives me a clue
How deep your cleavage
beneath is.
Your pallu brought backward
Covers the blouse with bra
cut.
Your pallu brought forward
over shoulder encloses deep armpit,
And the dimple of elbow.
Your pallu never runs over
the head,
Which gives me all the clue
How you will look where
you’re hidden.
I can see your long face,
long nape,
and long hair and long fingers,
By which I can sense your
hidden parts.
However fully you are
wrapped,
However wholly you are
draped,
You are to me fully naked.
To my passion or to my
acumen-
To which should the credit go?
You can shut to my eyes.
You cannot stop my eyes.

Indian woman sari, thown over the chest and a shoulder to hide the contour of
one’s breasts]
