Agneepath
Tu na thakega kabhi,
Tu na thamega kabhi,
Tu na mudega kabhi,
Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,
Agneepath, agneepath, agneepath
Vishwa Sara So Raha Hai
Hain vicharte swaon sunder,
Kintu inka sang tajkar,
Vyom-vyaapi shoonyata ka
Kaun saathi ho raha hai?
Vishwa saara so raha hai
Ruke Na Tu
Dhanush utha, prahaar kar
Tu sabse pehla vaar kar
Agni si dhadhak-dhadhak
Hiran si sajag-sajag
Singh si dahaad kar
Shankh si pukaar kar
Ruke na tu, thake na tu
Jhuke na tu, thame na tu
