aag jab pahle-pahal sarsabz wadi mein utri
to logon ne kaha

aag raushan hai
aur un mein se jo ziyaada sochte the bole

aag khuda ka mazhar hai
khuda ki tarah khubsurat raushan aur taqat-war

chand logon ne dabi zaban se kaha bhi
aag kis ki dost hui hai

lekin un ki zabanen kat di gain
aur un ke sar qalam kar diye gae

aur jahan aag utri thi
wahan ek mabad tamir kar diya gaya

aur aag phailti rahi
chand logon ne phir dabi zaban se kaha

aag bhala kis ki dost hui hai
aur un ki zabanen bhi kat di gain

aur un ke sar bhi qalam kar diye gae
aur aag phailti rahi

zabanen katti rahin
aur sar qalam hote rahe

yahan tak ki sari wadi ek mabad ban gai
aur mabad khandar ban gaya

aur wo jo ziyaada sochte the
wo sochte sochte aag ka rizq ban gae

aag bhala kis ki dost hui hai
