Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna is a poem in Hindi/Urdu

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai

Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat-cheet
Dekhta hun main jise woh chup teri mehfil mein hai
Aye shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main tere oopar nisaar
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Waqt aanay dey bata denge tujhe aye aasman
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil mein hai
Khainch kar layee hai sab ko qatl hone ki ummeed
Aashiqon ka aaj jumghat koocha-e-qaatil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Hai liye hathiyaar dushman taak mein baitha udhar
Aur hum taiyyaar hain seena liye apna idhar
Khoon se khelenge holi gar vatan muskhil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Haath jin mein ho junoon katt te nahi talvaar se
Sar jo uth jaate hain voh jhukte nahi lalkaar se
Aur bhadkega jo shola-sa humaare dil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Hum to ghar se nikle hi the baandhkar sar pe qafan
Jaan hatheli par liye lo bhar chale hain ye qadam
Zindagi to apni mehmaan maut ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Yuun khadaa maqtal mein qaatil kah rahaa hai baar baar
Kya tamannaa-e-shahaadat bhi kisee ke dil mein hai
Dil mein tuufaanon ki toli aur nason mein inqilaab
Hosh dushman ke udaa denge humein roko na aaj
Duur reh paaye jo humse dam kahaan manzil mein hai

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai.

The desire for struggle is in our hearts
We shall now see what strength there is in the boughs of the enemy

Why do you remain silent thus?
Whoever I see, is gathered quiet so...
O martyr of country, of nation, I submit myself to thee
For yet even the enemy speaks of thy courage
The desire for struggle is in our hearts...

When the time comes, we shall show thee, O heaven
For why should we tell thee now, what lurks in our hearts?
We have been dragged to service, by the hope of blood, of vengeance
Yea, by our love for nation divine, we go to the streets of the enemy
The desire for struggle is in our hearts...

Armed does the enemy sit, ready to open fire
Ready too are we, our bosoms thrust out to him
With blood we shall play Holi, if our nation need us
The desire for struggle is in our hearts...

No sword can sever hands that have the heat of battle within,
No threat can bow heads that have risen so...
Yea, for in our insides has risen a flame,
and the desire for struggle is in our hearts...

Set we out from our homes, our heads shrouded with cloth,
Taking our lives in our hands, do we march so...
In our assembly of death, life is now but a guest
The desire for struggle is in our hearts...

Stands the enemy in the gallows thus, asking,
Does anyone wish to bear testimony?...
With a host of storms in our heart, and with revolution in our breath,
We shall knock the enemy cold, and no one shall stop us...

The desire for struggle is in our hearts,
We shall now see what strength there is in the boughs of the enemy.

[globescape]

Does Sarfaroshi mean "Struggle" or "Sacrifice"?

[siddh781]

i bet the 4 people who have disliked this are british............

@rishimurali1996 I read what you have to say. Only I wonder when did being suicidal became a mark of being mature? When did letting outsiders, whom you let stay as a part of your household, destroy your identity became a characteristic of being mature?

[rishimurali1996]

@aparaajita10 you know, i was of the same opinion before but i changed and so will you once you realize that it is better to be more mature than our radicalist muslim counterparts, still i believe you are entitled to your own opinions at least let us agree to disagree.

[aparaajita10]

@rishimurali1996 We don't deny the contributions of the muslims during the struggle, but that does not give the right to all the future muslims for eternity to destroy the Hindus in India, wwhere, after all is argued the fact still remains, that both muslims & christains are nothing more than foreign invaders in India.

[aparaajita10]

@rishimurali1996 u have been associating too much with the muslim & christian scoundrels & conmen. What you do is very beautifully portrayed by a great poet of Hindi, "Jab jungle ka raja bakri ke ghar jaaney kagta hai, kuchh hi din mein wo bhi bakri sa mimiyaaney lagta hai"

[aparaajita10]

@kalkibhagwan the policy & "philosophy" of both, muslims & christians can be summed up in 1 sentence: "chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri, khadi bhi meri, kat gayi to teri, pit gayi to teri...." in galey lagaaney waalon ko dasney waalon ka deen kya aur eemaan kya, inka to sirf mazhab hi ho sakta hai.

[abhinavdhere1993]

@javananand It was just a misunderstanding for which I do apologize to you, not a matter of ideologies. We are both saying the same thing :)
