Agneepath: The Path of Fire

Here’s the English translation of the poem for you.

. . .

The Path of Fire

Let the trees stand tall,

Let them be dense, let them be big,

But even for the shade of a single leaf,

Ask not! Ask not! Ask not!

Path of fire! Path of fire! Path of fire!

You shall never tire,

You shall never halt,

You shall never turn back,

Take an oath! Take an oath! Take an oath!

Path of fire! Path of fire! Path of fire!

This is indeed a magnificent sight —

A man marching forward,

With tears, sweat, and blood,

Covered, covered, covered,

Path of fire! Path of fire! Path of fire!

— Harivansh Rai Bachchan
