Kishore Kumar/Lata Mangeshkar - play back singers Kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera My mind was blank paper likh liyaa naam is pe tera I wrote your name on it. suunaa aangan thaa jivvan mera My life was an empty courtyard bas gaya pyaar jis pe tera in which your love settled tuut na jaaye sapne main darta huun I fear that my dreams will shatter nit din sapnon mein dekha karta huun I see you every day in my dreams. tuut na jaaye sapne main darta huun I fear that my dreams will shatter. nis din sapnon mein dekha karta huun I see you every day in my dreams naina kajaraare matvaare ye ishaare these kajol-filled eyes, these intoxicating glances. khaali darpan thaa yeh man mera My mind was an empty mirror rach gaya ruup is mein tera in which your beauty manifested. kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera My mind was blank paper; likh liyaa naam is pe tera I wrote your name on it. INTERLUDE 2 chain ganvaaya main ne nindiyaa ganvaayi I lost my peace, I lost my sleep; saari saari raath jaaguun duun main duhaayi all night I stay up praying. kahuun kya main aage nehaa laage ji na laage What else can I say? I am in love. koi dushman tha yeh man mera My mind was an enemy to me; ban gaya mit jaake tera it became a friend to you. kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera My mind was blank paper; likh liyaa naam is pe tera I wrote your name on it. INTERLUDE baagon mein phuulon ke khilne se pahale In the gardens, before the flowers bloomed, tere mere nainon ke milne se pahale before our eyes met, kahaan ki yeh baatein how could such things exist? mulaaqaatein such meetings, aisi ratein these sorts of nights? tuuta taara tha yeh man mera My mind was a falling star; ban gaya chaand hoke tera once yours, it became the moon. kora kaagaz tha yeh man mera My mind was blank paper; likh liyaa naam is pe tera I wrote your name on it.
