aag hi aag hai aag hi aag hai
teri chita se mere man tak
dharti ke sine se gagan tak
aag hi aag hai

maine socha tha dulhan banakar tujhe
pyar ke motiyo se sajakar tujhe
teri doli ko kandha lagaye hue
dur tak jaunga sar jhukaye hue
tu na dulhan bani aur na doli gayi
ha lahu me mere aag gholi gayi
aag hi aag hai

mere hote hue teri ijjat luti
ghar se doli ke badle me arthi uthi
mai abhagi na de paya kandha tujhe
meri pyari bahan maaf kar de mujhe
maaf kar de mujhe maaf kar de mujhe

Fire, only fire, burning bright,
From your pyre to my heart's deep night,
From earth's embrace to the heavens' height,
Fire, only fire, burning light.

I dreamt of you, a bride so fair,
Adorned with love, beyond compare,
Your palanquin, I'd bear with grace,
My head bowed low, in time and space.
But bride you weren't, nor palanquin,
And fire, in my life, did begin.
Fire, only fire, burning within.

While I stood by, your honor slain,
Your home, a funeral, in endless pain.
I, the wretched, could not bear your load,
My dearest sister, forgive me, bestowed,
Forgive me, forgive me, I plead.
