manva mein mere aandhi hai uthi, aur stabdh khadi hoon main
A tornado has risen in my heart and I stand...stunned
saanson mein baandh apani hi saans, nishabd khadi hoon main
My breath clogs in me and I stand...speechless
duniya se jeeti jeeti, khud se haari bas dhvast khadi hoon mein
I won the world but was defeated by me and I stand...destroyed
aaina main aur aks main, madmast khadi hoon main
I'm the mirror and the reflection, and here I stand...delirious
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaoon kaise
My veil is stained, how can I hide it?
laaga chunari mein daag, chunari mein daag chhupaau kaise
ghar jaoon kaise, laaga chunari mein daag
How can I go home now, my veil is stained
jham jham jham jham jhanjavaat, antar mein gunje divas raat
Whirlwind like sounds echo day and night in my heart
ek shunya shunya, kapti vishal, maaya ka madhyam mantra jaal
An empty deceitful place, it's an illusion and its job is to deceive
mann ki dasha se ladati main bhidti vishwast khadi hoon main
I battle with the state of my heart and stand...deceived
meri laaj main hoon, chunar bhi main hoon, chunar pe daag bhi main
I'm my honor, I'm my veil and I'm the stain on my veil too
ho gayi maili mori chunariya, kore badan si kori chunariya - 2
My veil is stained, a veil once as pure as my body
jaake baabul se nazarein milaau kaise, ghar jaau kaise
How can I meet my father's eyes now?
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaau kaise - 2
My veil is stained
main dhvast dhvast, main nasht pasht, main saral viral main ati vishisht
I stand destroyed, deceived, simple and delicate and irrevocably caught in the middle
main shaam shwet baadal mein ret, nirjhar si jhari hoon main
I'm the light in the evening, the sand in the cloud, a waterfall waiting to cascade
andhiyaari raat deepak main baati swapnil si khadi hoon main
I'm the dark of the night and the wick of the lamp, I stand stupefied
kanchan ki kaaya apna hi saaya bas khud se dari hoon main
I'm as fragile as glass, a shadow of myself, I stand terrified of myself
lakadi mein geeli thodi seeli seeli tham thamke jalli hoon main
I'm the moistness in a log, I glow hesitantly
main maaya maaya main chhaaya chhaaya aatma aur kaaya main
I'm an illusion, I'm a shadow, I'm the body and the soul
nistabdh khadi hoon main, nishabd khadi hoon main
I stand stunned, speechless...
vishwast khadi hoon mein... (laaga chunari mein daag)
Totally defeated.
laaga chunari mein daag...
