Voh Bhagat Singh jis ke gham meiñ ab bhi dil naashaad hai

Us ki gardan meiñ jo daala tha voh phanda yaad hai?

Zahn meiñ hoga ye taaza Hindiyoñ ka daagh bhi

Yaad to hoga tumheñ Jaliaanwaala Baagh bhi

That Bhagat Singh whose memory still fills the heart with sorrow

Surely you remember the noose you put round his neck?

The scars that Indians felt must be fresh in your memory

Those that were inflicted at Jalianwala Bagh. You remember, don’t you?

– Josh Malihabadi
