Khat — English translation

Navjot Ahuja · hindi → English

What "Khat" means

A tender love letter from a speaker who does not believe in God yet prays, lights lamps and visits a temple for the sake of the person they love. Small, thoughtful gestures such as paper flowers, a letter and blue-painted walls show devotion. It ends with the idea that the beloved is the only god worth believing in. The mood is gentle, sincere and devotional.

Kaagaz ke phool laau tere liye
I bring paper flowers for you
Khat likhu tere liye
I write a letter for you
Mai khuda me maanu nahi
I don't believe in God
Par maangu dua tere liye
Yet I pray in your name for you
