Mere khayalon pe chaee hai ik surat matwali si

Nazuk si sharmili si masoom si bholi bhali si

Rehti hai woh dur kahin ata pata malum nahin

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Mere khayalon pe chaee hai ik surat matwali si

Nazuk si sharmili si masoom si bholi bhali si

Rehti hai woh dur kahin ata pata malum nahin

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Jheel si gehri ankhen kiski phool sa kiska chehra

Kali zulfein nagin bankay deti hain kispay pehra

Mere khayalon pe chaee hai ik surat matwali si

Nazuk si sharmili si masoom si bholi bhali si

Rehti hai woh dur kahin ata pata malum nahin

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ho sakta hai kal khud mujh ko waqt wahan le jaye

Mein ghabraoun dekh ke usko woh mujh se sharmaye

Mein keh doonga dilbar

Mein ne shayad

Dekha hai tum ko kahin

Mere khayalon pe chaee hai ik surat matwali si

Nazuk si sharmili si masoom si bholi bhali si

Rehti hai woh dur kahin ata pata malum nahin

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

Ko Ko Korina

“Ko Ko Korina” is usually considered as the first pop song of Pakistan, if not, then all of South Asia too. The song was written by Masroor Anwar with the composition done by Sohail Rana and sung by Ahmed Rushdi. Actor Waheed Murad provided for the lip-syncing in the film Armaan. Produced during Pakistan’s Golden Age of Cinema, the song has become a pop culture phenomenon over the years.

The song is featured in a black-and-white music video of the film that sees the lead sing about a woman on his mind. He calls her a delicate, shy, innocent and forgetful girl. The entire song is dedicated to this woman that he doesn’t know. The video also takes place in a bar and a bunch of couples can be seen romancing each other, while other men can be seen pursuing women.

A few lyrics can be related to the personality of Kamala too. She is quite the innocent and forgetful girl in the show, and with her daydreaming a lot and having extremely high ambitions, the song certainly seems like a good choice. It’s also featured at a great moment with Kamala going shopping with her mother, and it just adds a much-needed personality to the scene and makes it quite fun. Ms Marvel Series Review: Iman Vellani’s Disney+ Show is a Sweet, Rebellious Coming-of-Age Drama Wrapped Up in Superheroics!

If you want to see a modern rendition of the song, then you can check out the cover of Coke Studios as well. For many, this was their introduction to the song as well. However, the complete reception behind it isn't all that great.
