Mere Qareeb Lyrics English Translation by Neyhal
The performer describes nights that stretch endlessly, fueled by smoke and the weight of memories. ‘Close to me, close to me, don’t come this close to me,’ he sings, capturing the push and pull of emotional distance. Neyhal crafts a story of someone trapped in their own world, grappling with loneliness.
Kaate Na Katti Meri RaatMy nights just won’t pass by,
Bas Dhuan Aur Teri Tanha Yaadein Mere Saathwith only smoke and your lonely memories by my side.
Kisi Se Hoti Na Ab BaatI don’t talk to anyone anymore.
Chhodo Yeh Kal Ki Baatein Gaao Tum Bhi Mere SaathLeave these talks of yesterday and sing along with me.
Mere Qareeb Mere QareebClose to me, close to me,
Paas Na Aao Yun Mere Qareebdon’t come this close to me.
Jeena Yahin Marna YahinI have to live here, I have to die here,
Darne Ki Kya Baat Is Mein Abhiso what is there left to fear now?
