Khat Lyrics English Translation – Navjot Ahuja

Kaagaz Ke Phool Laau Tere Liye, Khat Likhu Tere Liye
I’ll bring paper flowers for you, and I’ll write letters for you.

Mai Khuda Me Maanu Nahi Par Maangu Dua Tere Liye
I don’t believe in God, yet I still pray for you.

Tere Liye Ghar Banaau, Deewaarein Neele Rang Se Sajaau
I’ll build a home for you, decorate its walls in shades of blue.

Pasand Hai Tumhe, Maloom Hai, Tumne Bataya Tha Ek Dafe
I know you like it, you once told me so.

Neele Phool Laau Tere Liye, Khat Likhu Tere Liye
I’ll bring blue flowers for you, and I’ll write letters for you.

Mai Khuda Me Maanu Nahi Par Maangu Dua Tere Liye
I don’t believe in God, yet I still pray for you.

Teri Baatein Nasamajh Si Phir Bhi Jaayaz Lag Rahi Hai
Your words seem naïve, yet they still feel justified.

Tu Pareshan Kar Rahi Hai Phir Bhi Masoom Lag Rahi Hai
You keep troubling me, yet you still appear innocent.

Tere Liye Mandir Jaaun, Tere Naam Ka Dia Jalaaun
For you, I’d go to a temple, light a lamp in your name.

Hasta Rahe Tu Chaahe Jo Ho, Teri Hasi Ko Nazar Na Lage
May you keep smiling no matter what, may no evil eye fall upon your laughter.

Kaagaz Ke Phool Laau Tere Liye, Khat Likhu Tere Liye
I’ll bring paper flowers for you, and I’ll write letters for you.

Mai Khuda Me Maanu Nahi Par Maangu Dua Tere Liye…
I don’t believe in God, yet I still pray for you…

Tere Liye Hum Bane Hai, Tere Liye Badal Rahe Hai
I was made for you, I’m changing for you.

Kya Mohabbat Ho Gayi Hai, Teri Hi Teri Baatein Kare
Have I fallen in love, that I speak only of you?

Tere Liye Ghar Banaau, Deewaarein Neele Rang Se Sajaau
I’ll build a home for you, decorate its walls in shades of blue.

Pasand Hai Tumhe, Maloom Hai, Tumne Bataya Tha Ek Dafe
I know you like it, you once told me so.

Dekh Shayar Bana Tere Liye, Nagma Likha Tere Liye
Look, I’ve become a poet for you, written melodies for you.

Mai Khuda Me Maanu Kyun, Tu Khuda Mere Liye
Why should I believe in God when you are my God?
