PRAKAASH: अजी आपसे सब डरते हैं. यहां आपको डराने वाला कौन आ गया जी? ;-)

i am afraid मैं अधीर हूँ । मुझे चिनता है

Explanation:
I am anxious is translated as मैं अधीर हूँ, I feel fear as मुझे चिनता है

But we shall have to create an expression if the term is to be used in the sense as in: "I'm afraid I can't use your paper for publication in my journal".
