% Bismil@Delphi comments :- % This song is a very very clever take-off of Iqbal's Tarana-e-milli. % Just to show what a clever parody this is of Iqbal, the first verse of % Taraanaa-e-milli goes as follows: % Chin-o-arab hamaara % hindostaan hamaara % muslim hai hum, vatan hai saara jahaan hamaara % The real beauty of the first verse is that it turns around Iqbal's % arguably communal and national hymn into a cry of of the oppressed and % anguished that is neither communal nor chauvinist nor nationalist, but % internationalist. Parts are also recognizable as being borrowed from % Iqbal's hymn of INDIAN nationalism, "Taraana-e-Hind" % Some of the references are easily identifiable, especially to Indians % who know "saare jahaan se achha". % e.g. ae aab-e-rud-e-Ganga, % voh din yaad hai tujhko % utra tere kinaare jab kaarwaan hamaara? % To which the parody goes "sarkon pe ghoomta hai ab kaarwaan hamaara" % or the final line to "saare jahaan" which most people don't know, goes % as follows: "iqbal, koyi mehrum apna nahin jahaan mein, % ma'lum kya kisi ko, dard-e-nihaan hamaara" % Here, of course, it is "milti nahin majoori, % ma'lum kya kisi ko dard-e-nihaan hamaara" % or, from taraana-e-milli, the line goes: % - ae gulistaan-e-andalus, voh din yaad hai tujh ko % tha teri daliyon mein jab aashiyaan hamaara? % contrast that with "footpaath bambai ke hai aashiyaan hamaara" % Overall, it seems that the song takes a somewhat dim view of the lofty % and grandiose nationalism of Iqbal by presenting some home-truths % about real present day life. c:in:-A:ð-Arb: hm:ara, ehnd:ðst:aú hm:ara rhn:ð k:ð G:r n:hi hò, s:ara j:haú hm:ara c:in:-A:ð-Arb: hm:ara . . .
