dhaani chunar mori haay re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
jaane kahaan udi jaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re

aaj mere aanchal se kyo lipati jaaye
jivan ki bagiyaa me ye kisne phul khilaaye
nas nas me dol ke ghunghat pat khol ke
aaj khushi lahraaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
jaane kahaan udi jaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re

jhum rahe hai sapne do aankho me lahraake
man hi man musakaaun mai nayi dagar pe aa ke
pag pag anjaan hai nazar hairaan hai
baat magar man bhaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
jaane kahaan udi jaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re

chachal man ye kaahe mai udti udti jaaun
o nil gagan par jaake chanda ko gale lagaun
sudh budh bisaraa gaye ye din kaise aa gaye
koi mujhe samjhaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
dhaani chunar mori haay re
jaane kahaan udi jaaye re
dhaani chunar mori haay re

My emerald veil, alas,
My emerald veil, alas,
To what unknown realm it flies,
My emerald veil, alas.

Why clings it now to my shawl's embrace?
Who blooms these flowers in life's green space?
Each vein now thrills, the veil unfurls,
As joy begins to chase.
My emerald veil, alas,
My emerald veil, alas,
To what unknown realm it flies,
My emerald veil, alas.

Dreams dance and sway within my eyes,
And on this path, my heart replies.
Each step unknown, my gaze unsure,
Yet whispers fill the skies.
My emerald veil, alas,
My emerald veil, alas,
To what unknown realm it flies,
My emerald veil, alas.

This restless heart, why must I soar?
To heaven's blue, forevermore,
To embrace the moon, a silver gleam,
And questions I implore.
My emerald veil, alas,
My emerald veil, alas,
To what unknown realm it flies,
My emerald veil, alas.
