THE UNSUNG HEROES

We had our independence from britishers after a long struggle and after sacrificing the lives of  many great sons of mother india,but unfortunately we dont remember many of them,two such great sons are pt.ramprasad bismil and ashfaqullah khan,not to forget rajguru,sukhdev,bhagat singh etc the list will be endless such is the greatness of this soil called mother india.

I am here talking about pt.ram prasad bismil and ashfaqullah khan in particular after learning that they were close associates and also both were also poets,the famous poem sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hain was written by pt.ram prasad bismil and the incident which led to the creation of this poem is quite interesting which also brought these two closer,here i reproduce one of ashfaqs poems in which he expresses his feelings for his motherland

जाऊँगा खाली हाथ मगर ये दर्द साथ ही जायेगा, जाने किस दिन हिन्दोस्तान आज़ाद वतन कहलायेगा?
बिस्मिल हिन्दू हैं कहते हैं "फिर आऊँगा,फिर आऊँगा,फिर आकर के ऐ भारत माँ तुझको आज़ाद कराऊँगा".

जी करता है मैं भी कह दूँ पर मजहब से बंध जाता हूँ,मैं मुसलमान हूँ पुनर्जन्म की बात नहीं कर पाता हूँ;
हाँ खुदा अगर मिल गया कहीं अपनी झोली फैला दूँगा, और जन्नत के बदले उससे एक पुनर्जन्म ही माँगूंगा."

this shows how much they loved there mother land even bhagat singh said i will come back again to free my mother land from the clutches of people who will rule my mother land as he foresaw how it will be misruled

i dedicate few lines to pt.ram prasad bismil and ashfaqullah khan

bismil kehte phir phir aakar desh pe jaan ganvaun
hasrat ki aankhein nam ho jati sonch ke main bhi aa paun
bismil ki hasrat thi aakhir desh aazad karaun
hasrat chahte the kaise,main bhi bismil ban jaun


hasrat was the pen name of ashfaqullah khan and bismil was the pen name of pt.ram prasad


as we are still not independent in the true sense i do feel that sardar bhagat singh,pt.ram prasad bismil and ashfaqullah khan will be soon amongst us in this freedom struggle coz definately this is giving them sleepless nights
