ਜੋ ਵਿਅਕਤੀ ਚੁਗਲੀ ਕਰਕੇ ਜਾਂ ਭੜਕਾ ਕੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੜਾਈ ਕਰਵਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਅੱਗ ਲਾਉਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਲੋਕ-ਸਿਆਣਪ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਰਹਿਣ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਮੁਹਾਵਰਾ ਘਰੇਲੂ, ਰਾਜਨੀਤਿਕ ਅਤੇ ਸਮਾਜਿਕ ਸੰਦਰਭਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

## Literal meaning

Agg is fire, launa is to set or apply. The literal image is of someone setting fire to dry stubble, one match, and the whole field is ablaze.

Fire spreads on its own once lit. That is the point: the fire-setter lights it and walks away, and the blaze does the rest.

## What it really means

The saying means to incite trouble, to deliberately provoke conflict between people. The fire-setter whispers, exaggerates, and provokes, and watches families, friends, or communities burn.

It is always deliberate and always condemned. The phrase names one of the most despised roles in social life: the one who profits from others' quarrels.

## Cultural context

Punjabi folk wisdom is full of warnings about the agg laun wala (fire-setter). Proverbs advise keeping such people at a distance, and stories punish them with their own flames.

The phrase is common in domestic, political, and communal contexts, anywhere that tempers run high and someone stands to gain from the blaze. Elders use it to teach the young to recognise provocation.
