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 kī 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 kā charchā ġhair kī mahfil meñ hai
vaa.e qismat paañv kī ai zo.af kuchh chaltī nahīñ
kārvāñ apnā abhī tak pahlī hī 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 kī musībat jhel le
ik ḳhushī kā 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 kī bhiiḌ
sirf miT jaane kī 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
