Agnipath...the path of fire in my voice...

Dear Friends, Harivansh Rai Bachchan is an excellent Hindi poet and he is also the father of superstar Amitabh Bachchan...
I love almost all his poems and can recite most of them without referring to the lyrics.
I would love to share with you the famous poem Agnipath which means the path of Fire...
Vriksh hon bhale khade,
hon ghane hoN bade,
Ek patra chhanh bhi
maang mat, maang mat, maang mat,
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath.

Tu na thakega kabhi
tu na thamega kabhi
tu na mudega kabhi,
Kar shapath, Kar shapath, Kar shapath,
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath.

Ye Mahaan Drishya hai,
Chal raha Manushya hai,
Ashru, swed, rakta se
Lathpath Lathpath Lathpath..
Agnipath, Agnipath, Agnipath.

That was in roman Hindi and here's the English translation:
Even if there be trees
shady and huge,
for the shade of a single leaf
don't ask, don't ask, don't ask..
Walk on the Path of Fire, Walk on the Path of Fire..

You will never stop,
You will never halt,
You will never turn,
Take this oath, take this oath, take this oath
Walk on the Path of Fire, Walk on the Path of Fire..

It's a great scene,
The man is walking,
in tears, sweat, and blood,
soaked, swathed,
Walk on the Path of Fire, Walk on the Path of Fire..
You can watch the same being recited by me in a live performance in front of thousands of audience at RSI Secunderabad
