Chunar, chunari or Chunariya is a long scarf worn by ladies.

O jheena jheena jheena re uDaa gulaal
maai teri chunariya lehraai

(as if) a light strip of color is flying in the air,
O mother, (in such a way) your scarf flies..

rang teri reet ka
rang teri preet ka
rang teri jeet ka hai layi, laayi, laayi..

the color of your ways,
the color of your love,
the color of your victory, it has brought..

rang teri reet ka, rang teri preet ka
maayi teri chunariya lehraayi

the color of your ways, the color of your love,
O mother, your scarf waves..

jab jab mujhpe hai, uTha sawaal
maai teri chunariya lehraai
jheena jheena re uDaa gulaal
maai teri chunariya lehraai

whenever there has been a question over me,
O mother, your scarf has waved..
like a light strip of color flying in the air,
O mother, your scarf flies in the air..

jag se haara nahi main
khud se haara hoon maa
ik din chamkoonga lekin
tera sitaara hoon maa
maai re, maai re..
tere bin main to adhoora rahaa
maai re, maai re..
mujhse hi rooThi meri parchhaayi

I haven’t lost to the world,
I have lost to myself, O mother..
One day I’ll shine though,
(after all), I am your star O mother..
O mother, O mother,
I remained incomplete without you.
O mother, O mother,
Even my shadow is angry with me..

o ho.. meri parchhai, tera khayal
maai teri chunariya lehraayi
jheena jheena jheena re, uDaa gulaal
maai teri chunariya lehraayi

My shadow, your thought,
O mother, your scarf has waved..
like a light strip of color flying in the air,
O mother, your scarf flies in the air..

rang teri reet ka
rang teri preet ka
rang teri jeet ka hai laayi, laayi, laayi..
rang teri reet ka, rang teri preet ka
maai teri chunariya lehraayi

jab jab mujhpe hai, uTha sawaal
maai teri choonariya lehraayi
jheena jheena re, uDaa gulaal
maai teri chunariya lehraayi
