For you, I shall

For your sake, this heart that isn't even close to me, I shall make it yours.  
If you come and reside within me, I shall turn that very heart into a temple.  
Weaving a swing from your dreams, I shall rock you upon it from dawn to dusk.  
But who am I in front of you? For you, I shall lose myself completely.  
If the stars refuse to befriend me, I shall steal them from the moon and name them after you.  
Even if you wish to walk upon a withered graveyard, I shall bloom into flowers along your path.  
And if you wish to sleep but find no cover, I shall spread my body as the softest blanket for you.



Tere khatir yeh dil jo mere hi kareeb nahi, use bhi apna loon
Tu jo aake bas jaye mujhme, ussi dil ko mandir bana loon
Khwabon ke tere jhoola bana kar, sawere shaam tujhe uspe jhula doon
Khair tere saamne main hoon bhi kya, tere khatir main khud ko gawa doon
Taare jo naa dost ho mere, chaand se unhe chura ke tere naam kar doon
Murjhe kabristan pe tu chalna bhi chaahe, toh main tere raaston main phool ban jaun
Tu sona chahe agar aur chadar na mile kahi, mere jism se tujhe narm chadar bichaa jaun
