aag jale is desh me
jale aag me desh karti aayi nariya
jiviat agani parwesh
bhasam huyi ma parwati isi aag me jal ke
sita ne di agani pariksha angaro pe chal ke
johar ki jawala me dekar parano ki aahutiya
jalkar rani padmini ke sang
ho gayi kitani satiya
yug badale sadiya biti nahi shant huyi ye jawala
vandahej ki aag ab isne sarvnash kar dala

dhan ke pujariyo me na dharm na daya hai
ab dulhano ka jalana har din ka wakiya hai
is aag me hamara sukh chain jal gaya hai
iske khilaf jane aawaj kab uthegi
is ke khilaf jane aawaj kab uthegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag
knaya ka dan jag me sabse bada kaha jaye
ye dan lene duniya babul ke dawar aaye
tan ke khada bhikhari data hai sar jhukaye
kab tak ye ulti ganag is desh me bahegi
kab tak ye ulti ganag is desh me bahegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag

mamta ujad gayi hai, aur pyar lut gaya hai
babul ki hasarto ka sansar lut gaya hai
ek gul ke tutane se guljar lut gaya hai
ab jane ye kahani kis mod pe rukegi
ab jane ye kahani kis mod pe rukegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag

jhute ko dekho jhute aansu baha raha hai
phere nibha na paya, phere laga raha hai
jhute ko dekho jhute aansu baha raha hai
phere nibha na paya, phere laga raha hai
jis ko jala chuka hai, use phir jala raha hai
nari janam ke li hai kab tak yuhi jalegi
is ke khilaf jane aawaj kab uthegi
is ke khilaf jane aawaj kab uthegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag

jalim samaj apne rashmo riwaj dekhe
bebas pe julm kya kya hote hai aaj dekhe
jalim samaj apne rashmo riwaj dekhe
bebas pe julm kya kya hote hai aaj dekhe
kis dar ja gir chhupa hai khud ko samaj dekhe
har roj dulhano ki kab tak bali chadegi
is ke khilaf jane aawaj kab uthegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag

aansu bahayenge jab, aansu rulane wale
julmo me khud girenge, jab julam dhane wale
aansu bahayenge jab, aansu rulane wale
julamo me khud girenge, jab julam dhane wale
jayege jab jalaye nari jalane wale
jayege jab jalaye nari jalane wale
ye ag aag se khud jab intkam legi
iske khilaf sab ki aawaj jab uthegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
ye aag kab bujhegi, ye aag kab bujhegi
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag
kab bujhegi ye aag, kab bujhegi ye aag

Fire dances in this land,
Women consumed by a fabricated flame,
Entering the pyre alive.
Parvati, a mother, turned to ash.
Sita walked embers, a trial of fire.
Sacrificing lives in the flames of Johar,
Burning with Padmini, a queen,
Countless Sati’s ascended.
Ages changed, centuries passed, yet the blaze rages.
Dowry's fire now brings utter destruction.

Worshipers of wealth know no faith, no mercy.
Brides burn, a daily tragedy.
In this fire, our peace and joy are consumed.
When will voices rise against this?
When will voices rise against this?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?
The gift of a daughter is held the greatest,
The world gathers at the father's door to receive the gift,
The body stands, a beggar, the giver bows.
Until when will this reversed river flow in this land?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?

Maternal love is desolate, and affection is plundered.
The world of a father's dreams is plundered.
With the breaking of a single rose, the whole garden is plundered.
Now, on what turn will this story halt?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?

The false one watches, shedding false tears,
Unable to fulfill the vows, he takes the vows.
The one he has already burned, he burns again.
Born as a woman, she burns, until when will she burn?
When will voices rise against this?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?

A cruel society sees its customs and rituals,
Behold the atrocities upon the helpless,
A cruel society sees its customs and rituals,
Behold the atrocities upon the helpless,
The society itself, fallen in fear, sees itself.
Until when will brides be sacrificed daily?
When will voices rise against this?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?

Tears will be shed by those who cause tears,
Those who inflict cruelty will fall into cruelty themselves.
Those who burn women will be burned.
This fire will take revenge from fire itself.
When everyone's voice rises against this,
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire be extinguished?
When will this fire cease, when will this fire cease?
