1/3: qareeb

mere rahbar mujhko

gumrah kar de

suna hai ke manzil

qareeb aa gayi hai

my guide,

lead me astray

heard that my destination

has drawn closer

Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)

2/3: qareeb

na jaane kis ki hamen

umr bhar talaash rahi

jise qareeb se dekha

woh doosra nikla

that which i sought

my entire life

when i saw it up close

turned out to be quite different

3/3: qareeb

bahut qareeb hai 'muztar'

woh zindagi ka nizaam

nazar na aayega jab

koi bismil-o-qaatil

it is very near, muztar,

that system and order of life

when you will not see

any murderers or victims
