IQBAL'S TARANA -E-MILLI ;--

% Bismil@Delphi comments :-
% This song is a very very clever take-off of Iqbal's
% Tarana-e-milli. Just to show what a clever parody this is of
% Iqbal, the first verse of Taraanaa-e-milli goes as follows:

% Chiin-o-arab hamaaraa hi.ndostaa.N hamaaraa
% muslim hai.N ham vatan hai saaraa jahaa.N hamaaraa

% The real beauty of the first verse is that it turns around Iqbal's
% arguably communal and national hymn into a cry of of the
% oppressed and anguished that is neither communal nor
% chauvinist nor nationalist, but internationalist. Parts are also
% recognizable as being borrowed from Iqbal's hymn of INDIAN
% nationalism, "Taraana-e-Hind". Some of the references are
% easily identifiable, especially to Indians who know
% "saare jahaa.N se achchhaa".

% e.g. ai aab-e-rud-e-Ganga, vo din yaad hai tujhako
% utaraa tere kinaare jab kaarawaa.N hamaaraa?

% To which the parody goes "sa.Dako.n pe ghuumataa hai ab kaarawaa.N hamaaraa"

% or the final line to "saare jahaa.N" which most people don't
% know, goes as follows: "'iqbal' ko_ii maharuum apanaa nahii.n jahaa.N me.n
% maa'luum kyaa kisii ko dard-e-nihaa.N hamaaraa"

% Here, of course, it is "milatii nahii.n majoorii,
% maa'luum kyaa kisii ko dard-e-nihaa.N hamaaraa"

% or, from taraana-e-milli, the line goes:
% ai gulistaan-e-andalus, voh din yaad hai tujhako
% thaa terii Daaliyo.n me.n jab aashiyaa.N hamaaraa?

% contrast that with "fuuTapaath bambaii ke hai.n aashiyaa.N hamaaraa"

% Overall, it seems that the song takes a somewhat dim view of
% the lofty and grandiose nationalism of Iqbal by presenting some
% home-truths about real present day life....

Anna Hazare? Bichare! No change can come from such egotists. Relax and enjoy this beautiful song. Its sentiments are still relevant for India, whose 450 mln peoplke still earn less than Rs. 1500 per month.

Think about that jaizala.

@rbhatto .. Truly said.. Rehne ko ghar nahi hai ...sara jahan hamara..

Dedicated to Anna a Hazare..A modern day Mahatma who battles corruption.

@rbhatto

When you look back to the conditions fifty years back India is in a much better position now.This is not a platform to discuss this matter but I see India going only up from where it is today.Be positive,relax and enjoy this beautiful song.

Thanks.

Sahir's meaningful words are proving true after 50 years..The world is certainly looking towards India ant its progress with surprised admiration.It would have reached much higher heights,much earlier, if our rulers had been better.Cudos to the people of India.
