Navjot Ahuja – Khat Song Meaning and English Lyrics (Tere Liye Mandir Jau)

Kagaz Ke Phul Lau Tere Liye
Khat Likhun Tere Liye
Main Khuda Mein Manu Nahi
Par Maangun Dua Tere Liye

I’ll bring paper flowers just for you
And write you letters too
I don’t really believe in God above
But I still whisper prayers for you

Tere Liye Ghar Banau
Deeware Neele Rang Se Sajau
Pasand Hai Tumhe Maloom Hai
Tumne Bataya Tha Ek Dafe

I’ll build a little home for you
And paint the walls your favorite blue
I know how much you love that shade
You told me once, and it stayed with me

Neele Phul Lau Tere Liye
Khat Likhu Tere Liye
Main Khuda Mein Maanu Nahi
Par Maangun Dua Tere Liye

I’ll bring blue flowers just for you
And keep writing letters to you
I don’t believe in heaven or God
But I still pray for you every day

Teri Baatein Nasamajh Si
Phir Bhi Jayaj Lag Rahi Hai
Tu Pareshaan Kar Rahi Hai
Phir Bhi Masoom Lag Rahi Hai

The things you say feel childish sometimes
Yet somehow they still feel right
You keep driving me a little crazy
But you still look so innocent to me

Tere Liye Mandir Jau
Tere Naam Ka Diya Jalau
Hasta Rahe Tu Chahe Jo Ho
Teri Hansi Ko Nazar Na Lage

I’d even go to a temple for you
And light a candle in your name
No matter what happens, keep smiling
May no evil eye ever steal your joy

Kagaz Ke Phul Lau Tere Liye
Khat Likhun Tere Liye
Main Khuda Mein Maanu Nahi
Par Maangu Dua Tere Liye

I’ll bring paper flowers for you
And fill pages with words for you
I may not believe in God at all
But I still send my prayers your way

Tere Liye Hum Bane Hai
Tere Liye Badal Rahe Hai
Kya Mohabbat Ho Gayi Hai
Teri Hi Teri Baatein Kare

Feels like I was made for you
And I’m changing because of you
Maybe this really is love
’Cause all I talk about is you

Tere Liye Ghar Banaun
Deewarein Neele Rang Se Sajaun
Pasand Hai Tumhe Maloom Hai
Tumne Bataya Tha Ek Dafe

I’ll build a home meant just for you
And cover its walls in blue
I remember how much you loved it
You told me that once before

Dekh Shayar Bana Tere Liye
Naghma Likha Tere Liye
Main Khuda Mein Maanu Kyu
Tu Khuda Mere Liye

Look, I’ve become a poet for you
I even wrote a song for you
Why would I search for God elsewhere
When to me, you already are God
