1 Urdu couplets and shers with kareeb

kareeb(m): closer

Description of kareeb: The Urdu word kareeb means close, near, or intimate in English, conveying physical or emotional proximity. Unlike English "close," which can feel distant or formal, kareeb carries warmth and affection in its meaning. Differs from "paas," which simply denotes physical nearness, kareeb implies a deeper connection or relationship. In Urdu poetry and literature, kareeb evokes longing and tender closeness, often expressing the desire to be near a beloved person.

1 / 1: kareeb

agarche door ho tummeri nazron se

to kya, tum mere dil ke

aur bhi kareeb ho gaye ho

even though you are

far away from my sight

so what, you have come

even closer to my heart
