Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna

There was a movie an year an a half ago, Don't know how many of you have actually watched it. It was named ‘Gulaal’. Being personally a great fan of Anurag Kashyap’s showpieces not just for the matter of fact that it has K.K menon’s acting but just for the simple reason that his movies at times takes us back to our own trait which has some percentage of resemblance, sorry strong percentage of resemblance in terms of character, psyche, instance and Psychology, I could not resist the temptation to watch it. His movies touch bases with reality every alternate scenes.

The delicacy of sarcasm has been kept brisk and effective by using rousing anthem of India’s revolutionary freedom movement –  ”Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna” – in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gulaal’. I have been revisiting this song for sometime and was looking for the lyrics.

I have now got the lyrics of the reinvented version by Piyush Mishra (sent me by a friend who’s also a shayar – Gulaal being so much a writer’s movie is bound to appeal to poets). I’m doing my bit and passing on the favour to like-minded enthusiasts:

सरफरोशी  की  तमन्ना  अब  हमारे  दिल  में  है 
देखना  है  जोर  कितना  बाजू -ए -कातिल  में  है 
वक़्त  आने  पे  बतादेंगे  तुझे  ए  आसमान 
हम  अभी  से  क्या  बताएं  क्या  हमारे  दिल  में  है

ओह  रे  बिस्मिल  काश  आते  आज  तुम  हिन्दुस्तान 
देखते  की  मुल्क  सारा  क्या  टशन , क्या  थ्रिल  में  है 
आज  का  लौंडा  यह  कहता  हम  तो  बिस्मिल  थक  गए 
अपनी  आज़ादी  तो  भईया लौंडिया  के  तिल  में  है .

आज  के  जलसों  में  बिस्मिल  एक  गुणगा  गा  रहा .
और  बहरों  का  वो  रेला  नाचता  महफ़िल  में  है 
हाथ  की  कड़ी  बनाने  का  ज़माना  लग  गया 
आज  तो  चड्डी  भी  सिलती  ईंग्लिशों  की  मिल  में  है

सरफरोशी  की  तमन्ना  अब  हमारे  दिल  में  है …
….क्या  बताएं  क्या  हमारे  दिल  में  है
