Magic in Tunes – Kora Kagaz Tha Ye Mann Mera

For all songs in this series, go here

This song is from the 1969 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film Aradhana (= Worship). Originally released in Indian Hindi – language and dubbed in Indian Bengali-language, this movie’s huge success led to two remakes: the Indian Tamil – Language film Sivagamiyin Selvan (1974) and the Indian Telugu – language film Kannavari Kalalu (1974). The theme of the movie was based on the 1946 American film To Each His Own. I posted a few songs before. This is another one from the same movie.

Music was composed by S. D. Burman to the Lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi. Sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mageshkar.

Lyrics transliterated:

Kora Kagaz Tha Ye Mann Mera; Mera Mera

Likh Diya Nam Is Pe Tera; Tera Tera

Kora Kagaz Tha Ye Mann Mera; Likh Liya Naam Is Pe Tera

Soona Angan Tha Jeevan Mera; Bas Gaya Pyar Is Pe Tera

Toot Na Jaye Sapne Main Darta Hoon; Nis Din Sapno Mein Dekha Karta Hoon

Toot Na Jaye Sapne Main Darta Hoon; Nis Din Sapno Mein Dekha Karta Hoon

Naina Kajrare Matvaare Ye Ishare

Khali Darpan Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Rach Gaya Roop Is Mein Tera

Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Likh Liya Naam Is Pe Tera

Chain Ganwaya Maine Nindiya Ganwayi; Sari Sari Raat Jagu Doon Main Duhayi

Chain Ganwaya Maine Nindiya Ganwayi; Sari Sari Raat Jagu Doon Main Duhayi

Kahu Kya Mai Aage Neha Lage Jee Naa Lage

Koi Dushman Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Ban Gaya Meet Ja Ke Tera

Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Likh Diya Naam Is Pe Tera

Baago Mein Phulo Ke Khilne Se Pehle; Tere Mere Naino Ke Milne Se Pehle

Haa; Baago Mein Phulo Ke Khilne Se Pehle; Tere Mere Naino Ke Milne Se Pehle

Kahan Thi Ye Batein Mulaqate Aisi Raate

Toota Tara Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Ban Gaya Chand Hoke Tera

Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Mann Mera; Likh Liya Naam Is Pe Tera
