is gulshan ko aag laga do, aag laga do
is gulshan ko aag laga do, aag laga do
phool koi na todne paye
phool koi na todne paye
angare faila do
aag laga do, aag laga do

phoolo pe kaise ho sakta hai kanto ka raaj
shaabnam se keh do
ke vo shola ban jaye aaj
kab se sulag rahi hai ab ye
kab se sulag rahi hai ab ye
chingari bhadka do
aag laga do, aag laga do
is gulshan ko aag laga do, aag laga do

vo fariyad nahi sunte jo hote hai saiyad
tod ke rakh do aaj kafasgar hona hai aazad
or nahi kuch kar sakte to
or nahi kuch kar sakte to
apne pankh jala do
aag laga do, aag laga do
is gulshan ko aag laga do
aag laga do, aag laga do

vo buzdil hai jo lete hai takdiro ka naam
ye takdire to hai apni shamshiro ka naam
maut jinhe manjur hai unko
maut jinhe manjur hai unko
jina aaj sikha do
aag laga do, aag laga do
aag laga do, aag laga do
aag laga do

Set this garden ablaze, set it ablaze,
That no hand may pluck a single bloom.
Scatter embers,
Set it ablaze, set it ablaze.

How can thorns reign where flowers reside?
Tell the dew,
To become a flame this tide.
For how long has this smoldered,
For how long has this smoldered?
Fan the sparks,
Set it ablaze, set it ablaze.
Set this garden ablaze, set it ablaze.

They heed not the cries of the captive,
Shatter the cage, to be free is the aim.
If nothing else can be done,
If nothing else can be done,
Burn your own wings,
Set it ablaze, set it ablaze.
Set this garden ablaze,
Set it ablaze, set it ablaze.

The faint of heart name fate as their guide,
But fate is the name of our own steel blades.
To those who embrace death,
To those who embrace death,
Teach them to live today,
Set it ablaze, set it ablaze,
Set it ablaze.
