sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai

Interesting Fact

The poem Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna's popularity and creation are often attributed to Ram Prasad Bismil. However, scholars have refuted this myth and have correctly attributed this ghazal to its rightful creator, Bismil Azimabadi. The Ghazal "Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna" is sourced from Bismil Azimadi's book Hikayat-e-Hasti, available on Rekhta e-Books. It is said that when Ram Prasad Bismil was put on the gallows, the opening lines of this poem were on his lips.

sarfaroshī tamannā ab hamāre dil meñ hai

dekhnā hai zor kitnā bāzū-e-qātil meñ hai

ai shahīd-e-mulk-o-millat maiñ tire uupar nisār

le tirī himmat charchā ġhair mahfil meñ hai

vaa.e qismat paañv ai zo.af kuchh chaltī nahīñ

kārvāñ apnā abhī tak pahlī manzil meñ hai

rahrav-e-rāh-e-mohabbat rah na jaanā raah meñ

lazzat-e-sahrā-navardī dūrī-e-manzil meñ hai

shauq se rāh-e-mohabbat musībat jhel le

ik ḳhushī raaz pinhāñ jāda-e-manzil meñ hai

aaj phir maqtal meñ qātil kah rahā hai baar baar

aa.eñ vo shauq-e-shahādat jin ke jin ke dil meñ hai

marne vaalo aao ab gardan kaTāo shauq se

ye ġhanīmat vaqt hai ḳhanjar kaf-e-qātil meñ hai

māne-e-iz.hār tum ko hai hayā, ham ko adab

kuchh tumhāre dil ke andar kuchh hamāre dil meñ hai

mai-kada sunsān ḳhum ulTe paḌe haiñ jaam chuur

sar-nigūñ baiThā hai saaqī jo tirī mahfil meñ hai

vaqt aane de dikhā deñge tujhe ai āsmāñ

ham abhī se kyuuñ batā.eñ kyā hamāre dil meñ hai

ab na agle valvale haiñ aur na vo armāñ bhiiḌ

sirf miT jaane ik hasrat dil-e-'bismil' meñ hai

sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai

dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-qatil mein hai

ai shahid-e-mulk-o-millat main tere upar nisar

le teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mahfil mein hai

wae qismat panw ki ai zoaf kuchh chalti nahin

karwan apna abhi tak pahli hi manzil mein hai

rahraw-e-rah-e-mohabbat rah na jaana rah mein

lazzat-e-sahra-nawardi duri-e-manzil mein hai

shauq se rah-e-mohabbat ki musibat jhel le

ek KHushi ka raaz pinhan jada-e-manzil mein hai

aaj phir maqtal mein qatil kah raha hai bar bar

aaen wo shauq-e-shahadat jin ke jin ke dil mein hai

marne walo aao ab gardan kaTao shauq se

ye ghanimat waqt hai KHanjar kaf-e-qatil mein hai

mane-e-izhaar tum ko hai haya, hum ko adab

kuchh tumhaare dil ke andar kuchh hamare dil mein hai

mai-kada sunsan KHum ulTe paDe hain jam chur

sar-nigun baiTha hai saqi jo teri mahfil mein hai

waqt aane de dikha denge tujhe ai aasman

hum abhi se kyun bataen kya hamare dil mein hai

ab na agle walwale hain aur na wo arman ki bhiD

sirf miT jaane ki ek hasrat dil-e-'bismil' mein hai
