India observes 23rd March as Shaheed Diwas every year to commemorate the martyrdom of these brave, young revolutionaries who played a pivotal role in our struggle for independence.
The lines quoted above are extracts of an immortal ghazal in Urdu penned by Bismil Azimabadi. It epitomises the valour and sacrifice of the three young martyrs and their patriotic fervour. The essence of these lines is explained below.
Our hearts are filled with the desire to sacrifice our lives for our motherland…we challenge the strength of the enemies of our nation and would love to witness a demonstration of the might of those who want to kill us…
May the soil of India always give birth to brave daughters and sons.
