Laaga chunri mein daag chupaaun kaise
Posted on: November 3, 2008
I have posted one song from “Dil Hi to hai”. That song viz “Tum agar mujhko na chaho to koi baat nahin” was sung by Mukesh and it is a very well known Mukesh song.
This movie also had another memorable song picturised on Raj Kapoor. This time the singer was not Mukesh, but Manna Dey. And this song is just as wonderful, if not more. This song has to be among the most memorable semi classical songs in the history of Bollywood movies. Sahir had written the lyrics and Roshan was the music director.
This song is easily one of the most memorable songs sung by Manna Dey.

Song- Laaga chunri mein daag chupaaun kaise (Dil hi to hai) (1963) Singer- Manna Dey, Lyrics-Sahir, MD-Roshan
Lyrics
aaa aaa
laagaa, chunri mein daag, chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chunri mein daag, chhupaaun kaise, ghar jaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
ho gayi maili mori chunariyaa
kore badan si kori chunariyaa
ho gayi maili mori chunariyaa
kore badan si kori chunariyaa
aa …
jaake baabul se, nazren milaaun kaise,
ghar jaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
bhool gayi sab bachan bidaa ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
bhool gayi sab bachan bidaa ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
aa …
jaake baabul se, nazren milaaun kaise,
ghar jaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag …
kori chunariyaa aatmaa mori
mail hai maayaa jaal
kori chunariyaa aatmaa mori
mail hai maayaa jaal
vo duniyaa more baabul kaa ghar
ye duniyaa sasuraal
haan jaake, baabul se, nazren milaaun kaise,
ghar jaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
chhupaaun kaise
laagaa, chunri mein daag
aa aa
dhim ta na na na dir dir taanum

I thought it was Shammi Kapoor, not Raj Kapoor, in this song.

Well, the two Kapoor brothers resembled each other in appearance, but that was in 1940s more than in 1960s. “Dil hi to hai” had Raj Kapoor and Nutan, and there was no Shammi Kapoor in this movie.

She was in Do Behnen (1959- Shyama, Rajendra Kumar) performing lavani (Maharashtra’s folk dance). Here is a link
I am not sure if she is one of the dance performer in song aaja chhaaye kaare badra.. as could not see it clear. (Lajwanti- Balraj Sahni, Nargis)

Thanks, Atul.
What a fantastic song this is.
You can listen to it again – and again – and again – and not get bored.
Manna Dey’s nuances and classes – to Roshan’s excellent music.
Definitely one of my favourite songs.
This movie was a good timepass movie. And Nutan was just superb. This movie also has that very nice qawwali “Nigahen milane ko jee chahta hai”. Sometime could you post that also please ?
