dupatta mera dhalak gaya dhalak gaya sar se haye dupatta mera
dupatta mera dhalak gayadhalak gaya sar se o dhalak gaya sar se
sarak gaya sar se dupatta mera dupatta mera dhalak gaya
dhalak gaya sar se haye dupatta mera

dhalka dupatta to jholi bana li failake jholi main banke sawali
mangu dil ki murad kar do dil mera saath kar do dil mera saath
main to bhuli na jaungi is dar pe dupatta mera dhalak gaya
dhalak gaya sar se haye dupatta mera

sunti hu tum to ho sabke sahare
aayi hu aaj main bhi dar pe tumhare
sun lo meri pukar jholi bhar do sarkar o jholi bhar do sarkar
meri bigdi banegi isi dar se dupatta mera dhalak gaya
dhalak gaya sar se haye dupatta mera

luta chamn ho meri zalim fija ne
dil pe girai bijli phir aasma ne
tuti har ek aas zindagi hai udas o ho zindagi hai udas
aapki rahmat idhra bhi zara barse
dupatta mera dhalak gaya dhalak gaya sar se
haye dupatta mera dupatta mera dhalak gaya
dhalak gaya sar se haye dupatta mera

My veil has slipped, it slips, it falls,
From my head, alas, my veil.
My veil has slipped, it slips, it falls,
Oh, it falls from my head,
Slid from my head, my veil,
My veil has slipped,
It slips, it falls from my head,
Alas, my veil.

When the veil slips, I make a begging bowl,
Spreading my bowl, I become a beggar,
I ask for the heart's desire, make my heart, be with me,
Make my heart, be with me.
I will not forget this threshold,
My veil has slipped,
It slips, it falls from my head,
Alas, my veil.

I hear you are everyone's support,
I come today to your threshold too.
Listen to my call, fill my bowl, O government, fill my bowl, O government,
My ruin will be made at this threshold,
My veil has slipped,
It slips, it falls from my head,
Alas, my veil.

My garden is plundered by a cruel wind,
The sky rained lightning on my heart,
Every hope is broken, life is sad,
O, life is sad,
Let your mercy rain here too,
My veil has slipped, it slips, it falls from my head,
Alas, my veil, my veil has slipped,
It slips, it falls from my head,
Alas, my veil.
