Har dil me aag shahr hai sahra hai aag me,
Itni badhi hai aag ki dariya hai age me.

[Fire all around, in every heart in cities & in deserts,
It has extended so much that even the rivers are in fire.]


Hanste hain dekh-dekh ke jalte hue makaan,
Kaise hain log jinka tamasha hai aag me.

[They laugh over the burning houses around,
Typical they are - burning of thing becomes show of amusement.]


Bas ek mere ghar pe nahi aag ke sitam,
Ek hashr sa bapa hai ki duniya hai aag me.]

[Fire is not confined to only my abode,
It has gripped almost the whole world.]


Vo mujhse kar rahe the mohabbat ka aitraaf,
Jalne se maine unko bachaya hai aag me.

[The beloved was about to express love,
And I saved that delicate being from the terrible fire.]


Aankhon me uski raksaa’n hai shole shabab ke,
Kya lutf hai ki nargise shahla hai aag me.

[In those lovely eyes I see the dance of the flames of beauty,
What a sight! Daffodil like eyes are in fire here.]  


Ye kisne aaj aag ke maani badal diye,
Ye kisne aaj phool khilaya hai aag me.

[What a charmer he is who has changed the meaning of fire,
Rather he grew and blossomed the flowers therein.]


Mujhko jala ke vo bhi pareshan hai suhail,
Tadpa hai usne mujhko jo dekha hai aag me.

[Though set me ablaze yet that lovely creature is worried still,
Perturbed that mind as well seeing me in fire of love.]
