Agneepath ...

Red Vineyard by Gogh ( see image information below)


Vriksh ho bhale khade, ( even if the tree stands tall)
Ho ghane, ho bade, ( even if it is dense and big)
Ek patra chaa bhi, ( shade of a single leaf)
Mang maat, mang maat, mang maat ( don't ask, don't ask, don't ask)
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath ({on this} path of fire, path of fire, path of fire)

Tu na thakega kabhi, ( you will not get tired ever)
Tu na thamega kabhi, ( you will not stop ever)
Tu na mudega kabhi, ( you will not turn back ever)
Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath ( take this oath, take this oath, take this oath)
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath ( {on this} path of fire, path of fire, path of fire)

Yeh maahan drishya hai, ( this is a great vision)
Chal raha manushya hai, ( man walks on)
Ashru, shwet, rakth se, ( with tears, sweat and blood)
Lathpat, lathpat, lathpat ( he is soaked, he is soaked, he is soaked)
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath ( {on this} path of fire, path of fire, path of fire)
.
- Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan
