Lyrics of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag - लागा चुनरी मैं दाग

manawa mein mere aandhi hai uthi, bas stabdh khadi hu main
sanson mein paar apani hi sans, nishabd khadi hu main
duniya se jiti jiti, khud se haari bas dhwast khadi hu mein
aaina main aur aks main, madmast khadi hu main

laaga chunari mein daag chhupau kaise
laaga chunari mein daag, chunari mein daag chhupau kaise
harshaau kaise, laaga chunari mein daag
cham cham cham cham japat, antar mein gunje divas raat
ek shunya shunya, kapti vishal, maaya ka madhyam mantra jaal
mann ki dasha se ladati main phirati vishwast khadi hu main
mari laaj main hu, chunar bhi main hu, chunar pe daag bhi main
ho gayi maili mori chunariya, kore badan si kori chunariya
ho gayi maili mori chunariya, kore badan si kori chunariya
jaake baabul se nazarei milaau kaise, ghar jaau kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupau kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupau kaise

main dhwast dhwast, main nasht mast, main saral bhiral main
hai shaam shwet baadal mere, nirjhar si jhari hu main
andhiyaari raat dipak main baat sawpnil si bhari hu main
kanchan ki kaaya apna hai saaya bas uff se dari hu main
lakadi mein gili thodi simi simi tham thamke chali hu main
hai maaya maaya hai chhaaya chhaaya aatma or kaya main
nistubdh khadi hu main, nishabd khadi hu main
vishwast khadi hu mein, laaga chunari mein daag
laaga chunari mein daag


lyrics of song Laaga Chunari Mein Daag

Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Laaga Chunari Mein Daag
Within my heart, a tempest roared, I stand, transfixed and sore,
My breath a veil, obscuring all, silent, I implore.
Victorious in worldly strife, by my own self, I'm undone,
A shattered remnant, desolate, beneath the setting sun.
I am the mirror and the reflection, in intoxicated state, I stand alone.

Upon my veil, a stain appears, how can I hide this mark?
Upon my veil, a stain, a stain, how can I hide in dark?
How can I rejoice, upon my veil, this stain I bear within my heart?
Chanting, chanting, day and night, deep within, a timeless art.
A void, a void, a trembling, vast illusion, a mystical net,
Fighting with my inner state, I wander, trusting, yet.
I am my shame, my veil, my stain, all bound in one design,
My veil is soiled, my body pure, a paradox so fine,
My veil is soiled, my body pure, a paradox so fine,
How can I meet my father’s gaze, how can I find my home?
Upon my veil, a stain, a stain, how can I hide my doom?
Upon my veil, a stain, a stain, how can I hide this gloom?

I am undone, I am destroyed, I am the simple, broken chain,
My evening sky, a canvas white, like waterfalls I rain.
Within the darkest night, a lamp, filled with a dreaming strain,
A golden form, my own shadow, from whispered fears I strain.
A girl I am, a little damp, step by step, I came,
Maya is Maya, shadow is shadow, between soul and frame,
Silent I stand, silent I stand, a whisper in the game,
Trusting I stand, upon my veil, this stain, forever the same.
Upon my veil, a stain.

i think the reason it didnt do so well was beacuse it is so disappoitning and when and audience watches a movie they want to see a good entertainment. We already have so many depressing thing going on in our lives that to see another person doing badly is not really encouraging. People dont want to feel sad after watching a mvie, they have enough of their own griefs to adopt somebody else's and somebody who isnt even real.

I really, really liked this movie, and I don't understand why it failed so
badly with the critics and the box office. I do agree that the ending kind
of ruined the point of the story line. It was very typical
make-everything-all-better Bollywood, so I wish they would have made it a
little more realistic. But Rani was AMAZING in this movie. This song is
definitely my favorite one, as it captures the essence so well.

This was a great movie with an unrealistic ending. I loved Rani's acting along with Jaya's, however everyone else paled in comparison or only did so-so. The movie is about prostitution, however as realistic as they tried to make it seem, they also wanted to spin it into a fairytale ending, which is what ruined it for me. It would've been much more powerful had they showed the consequences.

In my opinion, the reason it flop is because we don't want any more movies
like this because it'll influence people. If you don't have money, get a
decent job instead of becoming a person who sells their body. We don't want
bad influence by a movie. But a great performance by Rani in the movie

paromeeta basuthakur on Tuesday, August 11, 2009
no she did know she told her mom that she is coming back and her mom said
no do whatever it takes to get the money and then rni was like even dirty
work? and she was like yea and hung up and then jaya knew what she said was
wrong so then she called back but rani didnt answer
