Arpit Bala’s ‘Daraaz Mein’ from the album Keychain Laalu merges melancholic vocals with sparse production. Bala, also lyricist and co-composer, frames forgotten love through a drawer metaphor. Angad Virk and Aadi Nagpal’s arrangement heightens the track’s haunting mood.

Daraaz Mein
Arpit Bala • From “Keychain Laalu”
Keychain Laalu’s Daraaz Mein Hindi Lyrics English Translation
The singer asks to remain hidden in the drawer rather than face erasure. ‘Don’t burn me like paper,’ he warns, threatening to haunt as ashes reborn. Bala’s wordplay shifts from passive storage to spectral persistence.
Daraaz Mein SametkarPack me away in a drawer.
Thodi Si Jagah De DoJust give me a little space.
Lage Na Tum Na Haath LageWhere neither you nor your hand will ever touch me.
Kone Mein Sajaake RakhoKeep me neatly put away in a corner.
Hum Yaad Hain Ya Yaad NahinAm I remembered, or am I not?
Humein Tum Chhupaake RakhoYou should keep me hidden away.
Daraaz Mein Humein Hi RakhoJust keep me in that drawer.
Naraaz Mein Humein Hi RakhoJust keep me in your anger.
Humein Tum Bula Lo Ye Mushkil NahinIt isn’t hard for you to call me.
Jalaana Na Humko Ek Kaagaz SamajhDon’t burn me, treating me just like paper.
Hum Niklenge Raakh Se Banke Phir RoohI’ll emerge from the ashes, turning into a spirit again.
Aur Bhatkenge Kamre Mein Dekhegi TuAnd I’ll wander in the room, you’ll see.
Kehti Thi TumYou’d say.
Hota Na KuchNothing ever happens.
Bhooton Ki Baaton Se Lagta Na DarYou don’t get scared by talk of ghosts.
Tabhi Hum Baithe Hain ChupThat’s why I’m sitting quietly.
Kahin Tum Maano Na Humko Bhi YunWhat if you don’t believe in me like that either?
Kehti Thi Tum Ko HumdamYou used to call me your soulmate.
Kabhi Na Kabhi To Wo Bhi GalatBut sometime or other, even that’s wrong.
Kyon Hai Ye Waqt Shabdon Ke JaiseWhy is this time just like words?
Ho Jaati Kami Hai Jab Hoti Ho TumThey become scarce whenever you’re around.
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na HaanNo, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes.
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na LaNo, no, no, no, no, no, no, la.
Na Na Na NaNo, no, no, no.
Na Na Na NaNo, no, no, no.
Daraaz Mein Humein Hi RakhoJust keep me in that drawer.
Daraaz Mein Humein Hi RakhoJust keep me in that drawer.
Naraaz Mein Humein Hi RakhoJust keep me in your anger.
Daraaz Mein SametkarPack me away in a drawer.
Thodi Si Jagah De DoJust give me a little space.
