Laagaa chunaree mė daag

Laagaa chunaree mė daag,
Chhupaaȯȯ kaise
Chunaree mė daag,
chhupaaun kaise ghar jaaȯȯ kaise
Laagaa chunaree mė daag,
Chhupaaȯȯ kaise

Ho gayee mailee moree chunariyaa
kore badana see koree chunariyaa
Jaake baabul se nazarė milaaȯȯ kaise
ghar jaaȯȯ kaise
Laagaa chunaree mė daag

Bhool gayee sab vachan bidaa ke
Kho gayee mai sasuraal mė aake
Jaake baabul se nazarė milaaȯȯ kaise
ghar jaaȯȯ kaise
Laagaa chunaree mė daag

Koree chunariyaa atmaa moree
Mail hai maayaa jaal
Vo duniya more baabul kaa ghar
Ye duniyaa sasuraal haa
Jaake baabul se nazarė milaaȯȯ kaise
ghar jaaȯȯ kaise
Laagaa chunaree mė daag

My veil is stained, oh, how can I hide it? I am tainted. How do I conceal? How can I go home?

I was untainted, and now am tarnished. How can I now face my father? How can I go home?

I stepped out of home and my resolve was gone. In my lover’s arms, I became lost. How can I now face my father?

But, my veil is like my sky. Is the spot a mere illusion? In one world I am pure and untouched; in another, I am with my beloved. How can I face my father?

Dil Hi To Hai (1963) Singer: Manna Dey
