Hear it — under your skin
सुनो — ये भीतर से बुला रहा है
Suno — ye bheetar se bula raha hai
Cold street, flicker lights, someone’s breathing close
A nameless step behind, everybody knows
Mirrors steal a corner of the face you can’t own
Old names on new paper, inked in bone
खामोशी लिखती है—हर इक राज़
Khamoshi likhti hai — har ik raaz
Count the beats, count the doors you passed
Every shadow keeps a mark that’s built to last
Bhayam — the shadow calls my name
भय — परछाई पुकारे मेरा नाम
We wear the dark like armor, and it wears us the same
Bhayam — don’t run, don’t hide in vain
भय — भागो मत, छिपो मत व्यर्थ
Say the name — and feel the echo claim
A lullaby of sirens wastes the open sky
Hands in pockets, teeth clenched, we pretend to fly
The streetlight shows the ledger where the debts remain
You sign in haste — then sleep in pain
ये रात पूछेगी — तुम किससे डरते हो?
Ye raat poochegi — tum kisse darte ho?
One more name, one more lie
One more hush — then you testify
Bhayam — the shadow calls my name
We wear the dark like armor, and it wears us the same
Bhayam — don’t run, don’t hide in vain
Say the name — and feel the echo claim
Bhayam… भय… भय…
(whispered chant under chorus)
Do you hear it?
क्या तुम सुन रहे हो?
Kya tum sun rahe ho?
Breath to breath — the night takes aim
Name it now — release the flame
Bhayam…
Bhayam…
Who’s afraid?
Who’s afraid?
नाम ले—
Naam le
बोलो—
Bolo — Say it loud!
Bhayam — the shadow calls my name
भय — परछाई पुकारे मेरा नाम
We light a match and watch it burn the same
हम एक चिंगारी जलाएँ — और सब बदल जाएं
Hum ek chingari jalaayein — aur sab badal jaayein
Bhayam — we stand, we do not break
Say the name — and finally take
आज रात—दिल ठहर जाए
Aaj raat — dil thahar jaaye
