mere sar se sarak chunari o mere sar se sarak chunari
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji
mere sar se sarak chunari o mere sar se sarak chunari
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji

kali kali pagri layegi vo yaad piya ki ayegi
vo yaad piya ki layegi vo ghup chup aayegi, aayegi
vo ghup chup ghup chup aayegi, aayegi
o bhule se diwani, o bhule se diwani
o mere sar se sarak chunari
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji

nindra maut si rut aaye re nindra maut si rut aaye re
ye sola ban kar fat jaye re ye sola ban kar fat jaye re
haye re haye sol bankar mera dil le lo mastani
o mera dil le lo mastani
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji
mere sar se sarak chunari o mere sar se sarak chunari
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji
mere sar se sarak chunari
o mere sar se sarak chunari
mai to mar gati ke mare, laaz mare o ji

My veil slips from my head, oh, my veil slips from my head,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes,
My veil slips from my head, oh, my veil slips from my head,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes.

The dark turban he will bring, awakening memories of my love,
Memories of my love will awaken, secretly, she will come, she will come,
Secretly, secretly, she will come, she will come,
Oh, a forgotten madness, oh, a forgotten madness,
My veil slips from my head,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes.

Sleep, a death-like season is here, oh, a death-like season is here,
This garment, it will tear and break, this garment, it will tear and break,
Alas, alas, a garment of sixteen, my heart, take it, o' beloved,
Oh, my heart, take it, o' beloved,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes,
My veil slips from my head, oh, my veil slips from my head,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes,
My veil slips from my head,
Oh, my veil slips from my head,
I am undone by shame, shame overwhelms, oh yes.
