آگ لَگی تن مَن میں
Touch on each word to display its meaning
A fire ignited my body and soul
آگ لَگی تن مَن میں
دِل کو پڑا تھامْنا
رام جانے کَب ہو گا
سَیّاں جی کا سامَنا
[ all stanza x2 ]
ہو
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
سونی ہے آج پِیا موری اٹاریا
پِیا موری اٹاریا ذرا دیؤ خَبَرِیا
دِل تڑپے جیسے بِنا
جَل کی مَچَھرِیا ذرا لیو خَبَرِیا
[ 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]
آن پڑے مُشکِل تو
آئے کوئی کام نَہ
رام جانے کَب ہو گا
سَیّاں جی کا سامَنا
ہْمّ !
If hardship comes,
nothing will console me.
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.
Hmm!
ساجَن کی یاد مُجھے
پَل پَل ستائے
مُجھے پَل پَل ستائے
تن کا سِن٘گار میرے
مَن کو نَہ بھائے
دیکھو نینا بھر آئے
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.
پیار میرا ہو جائے
کہیں بدنام نَہ
رام جانے کَب ہو گا
سَیّاں جی کا سامَنا
ہائے !
May my falling in love
never become ignominious!
(Only) Rama knows when
the meeting with my beloved will be.
Ah!
لاگی نَہ چُھوٹے
کروں کوئی بہانہ
کروں کوئی بہانہ
آیا نازُک زمانہ
دِل میرا بنا
پِیا تیرا نِشانہ
آیا نازُک زمانہ
[ 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]
ہوئے بُرا اُلفت کا
دیکھو اَنْجام نَہ
رام جانے کَب ہو گا
سَیّاں جی کا سامَنا
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.
