Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai
Aye watan, Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat-cheet
Dekhta hun main jise who chup teri mehfil mein hai
Aye shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main tere oopar nisaar
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

When Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad and Ram Prasad Bismil took this oath to save our country they took a pledge and stood by it. They were ordinary citizens like you and me. Today, when anger simmers in us and we talk of saving our country, do we have the intention to stand by it? Will you and I stand by to save our country and question anyone who wants to spread terror in our home? What is the difference between those three young men who changed our history and got us independence and us? Is not the situation much alike? We are not cowards nor are we intellectually weak. What we are voicing at this hour is not about talking big for today or for this week or for a month. This voice is about taking charge. We have the right to question, to lead and the right to change. This is our home and we have to save it. The question is – are we ready to do that? Stand united against terrorists – whether insiders or outsiders.

Are we going to go back to our work stations tomorrow and gossip and complain about the system or take charge to change the system? We don’t have to go to the parliament house and throw paper bombs but we can make our voice heard.
I see the media taking some responsibility. From sensationalizing news to a bit of sensitivity in reporting was seen by all of us in this tragedy. Will the media support us to make our voices heard? Will the media give one hour of their time to save their country rather than to show us loose talks by the vote grabbing politicians?

No system is rigid or set. It is what we make it to be. Why have we accepted the politics is for scoundrels and let these politicians trade our lives in the name of power, religion and money.

As a citizen of India I request all of you not to sit back. The going may be tough but we are not cowards. Let us stand united and fight back. Write, talk and spread the message of the fight against corruption and terrorism.

Let us take charge and lead. Let us take the pledge today to flush out this terror that trying to get us.
