आग लगी तन मन में
Touch on each word to display its meaning
A fire ignited my body and soul
आग लगी तन मन में
दिल को पड़ा थामना
राम जाने कब होगा
सैयाँ जी का सामना
[ all stanza x2 ]
हो
A fire ignited my body and soul,
I had to suddenly restrain my heart.
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.
[full stanza x2]
Oh
सूनी है आज पिया मोरी अटरिया
पिया मोरी अटरिया ज़रा दियो ख़बरिया
दिल तड़पे जैसे बिना
जल की मछरिया ज़रा लियो ख़बरिया
[ all stanza x2 ]
Beloved, today my little terrace is empty (without you)
My little terrace, beloved! Please, send me news!
My heart flutters like a fish out of water—
Take some notice!
[full stanza x2]
आन पड़े मुश्किल तो
आए कोई काम न
राम जाने कब होगा
सैयाँ जी का सामना
हम्म !
If hardship comes,
nothing will console me.
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.
Hmm!
साजन की याद मुझे
पल पल सताए
मुझे पल पल सताए
तन का सिंगार मेरे
मन को न भाए
देखो नैना भर आए
The memory of my beloved
torments me every moment,
Torments me every moment.
The adornment of my body
displeases my mind.
Look, my eyes have overflowed.
प्यार मेरा हो जाए
कहीं बदनाम न
राम जाने कब होगा
सैयाँ जी का सामना
हाय !
May my falling in love
never become ignominious!
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.
Ah!
लागी न छूटे
करूँ कोई बहाना
करूँ कोई बहाना
आया नाज़ुक ज़माना
दिल मेरा बना
पिया तेरा निशाना
आया नाज़ुक ज़माना
[ all stanza x2 ]
Let what's tied not to be untied!
I’ll use any excuse.
I’ll use any excuse.
A delicate time has come:
my heart has become
your target, my beloved.
A delicate time has come.
[full stanza x2]
हुए बुरा उल्फ़त का
देखो अंजाम न
राम जाने कब होगा
सैयाँ जी का सामना
Look, should love turns bitter,
may it not be its end!
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.

aag lagii tan man meN (Hindi: आग लगी तन मन में, Urdu: آگ لَگی تن من میں) is a classic song from the 1952 Bollywood film Aan, directed by Mehboob Khan. With lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni and music by Naushad, the song blends rustic folk melodies with orchestral arrangements, capturing the yearning of a woman in love.
In the film’s iconic scene, the maidservant (played by Sheila Naik) sings the song while attending to Princess Rajshree (Nadira) as she bathes and dresses. The playful contrast between the servant’s cheeky performance—lip-syncing to Shamshad Begum’s vibrant vocals—and the princess’s stubborn refusal to acknowledge her own feelings creates a moment of lighthearted irony. The song’s lyrics, which speak of burning passion and impatient waiting, subtly mirror the princess’s hidden emotions.
Though Sheila Naik’s role was small and uncredited, her delivery added charm to this memorable sequence. The song remains a testament to Naushad’s ability to elevate folk themes with grand musicality, and to Shamshad Begum’s unmatched vocal energy.
