Today 23rd March, 2022 is the ninety-second Martyrdom Day of the great revolutionary of India, Bhagat Singh and his two comrades – Sukhdev and Rajguru. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru were hanged to death on 23rd March, 1931 by the then British Government in India. Every year on 23rd March we pay our tributes to these great martyrs on blog.
There have been several movies made on Bhagat Singh’s life and sacrifice in our film industry during the last seventy-five years. And, I think, almost all of them have been represented on the blog so far. Today we are going to listen a song from the 1954 movie ‘Shaheed e Azam Bhagat Singh’.
This movie was directed by Jagdish Gautam for Poonam Productions, Bombay. It had Prem Adeeb, Smriti Biswas, Ashita Muzumdar, Jairaj, Kukku, Johnny Walker, Amirbai Karnataki, H Prakash, Maya Devi, Ramlal, Lal Khan, Shah Agha, Madan Khanna, Samar Chatterjee, Ravikant, Anita Bose, BB Mukherjee, Randeep Chopra, AK Jain, Master Arjun and others. The movie was passed by Censor Board on 24.03.1954.
The movie has five songs which are written by two songwriters. Two songs are written by Sahir Chandpuri, and one song by Shaukat Pardesi. A fourth song is the legendary creation by another great revolutionary Ramprasad Bismil – “Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamaare Dil Mein Hai”. The fifth song listed for this film is a bhajan for which name of the songwriter is not given. Music for this movie was composed by Lachchhiram.
Here is the list of the songs included in this movie.
| Sl. No. | Song Title | Singers | Lyricist | Posted On |
| 01 | Nazar Ki Chot Jo Dil Pe Khaa Nahin Sakte | Shamshad Begam | Sahir Chandpuri | |
| 02 | Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamaare Dil Mein Hai | Mohd Rafi, Chorus | Ramprasad Bismil | 09.08.2016 |
| 03 | Aakaash Ke Aanchal Mein Sitaara Hi Rahega | Mohd Rafi, Unknown voices, chorus | Shaukat Pardesi | |
| 04 | Sambhaalo, Sambhaalo, Zaraa Apne Dil Ko | Shamshad Begam | Sahir Chandpuri | |
| 05 | Mera Rusey Na Bansari Waala | Meena Kapoor (?)* | Not known |
Note: In the footnote for this movie page HFGK mentions Meena Kapoor, Shamshad Begam and Mohd Rafi as singers for the songs in this movie. So far only one song from this movie – “Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamaare Dil Mein Hai” – has been posted on the blog and that was on 09.08.2016.
Today’s song is sung by Mohd Rafi and chorus and lyrics are written by Shaukat Pardesi. Only the audio of this song seems to be available as of now.
Let us listen to the today’s patriotic song and remember the many who laid down their lives during the freedom struggle of our country. After listening to the song, one can guess that the song must be happening in protest of the Simon Commission, in the movie. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the songs and the movie.

Nice and timely post, Avinash ji.
The lines in first stanza are inspired by, mostly reproduced from here:
jis khet se dahqāñ ko mayassar nahīñ rozī
us khet ke har ḳhosha-e-gandum ko jalā do
(Allama Iqbal)
“khosha e kandum” may please be changed as “khosha e gandum”.
Which means ‘Sheaf of Wheat”, ‘gandum’ is wheat.
Dehqaan – farmer, kisaan
Mayassar – available, accessible.
