The song I want to sing on Indepandence Day

These days I am listening to Rabbi's new album Avengi Ja Nahin. As usual its a typical Rabbi album and a combination of good music and strong LYRICS. There is one song Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par and I liked it most. The original song was written by Sahir Ludhiyanavi and that time we were fighting against British Rule.
Don't want to write about the biggest problem we have to fight against, just want you to read the lyrics (or you can listen to it). If you dont know or remember the names mentioned in this song please take a look at the given link. This is the song I want to sing on Indepandence Day. Jinhe Naaz Hai Hind Par...

My name is Bilqis Yakub Rasool
I committed just one mistake
That I stood in their way
When they were looking for Ram

First one asked me but I knew nothing
Then another but my answer was the same
Then so many that now I have a question

Where are those who are proud of India
Where are those who are proud

My name gentlemen is Satyendra Dubey
I've already said what I wanted to say
Now I lie on the road
With a bullet in my heart

My only fault being that I wrote
A truth that was on everybody's lips
But truth here turns poisonous

My name brother is Manjunath
I've seen the corps of conscience lying
In the middle of the road at Lakhimpur Khiri

Where ideals are stuck in slogans
And royal courts are full of thieves
There the death of righteousness is old news

Where are those who are proud of India
Where are those who are proud

My name is Navleen Kumar
Nineteenth June and nineteen wounds
Nineteen nineteen nineteen nineteen
Nineteen wounds

Loot the village and open markets
Nallasopara and Virar
Snatch our land and send us to
Hell

Where are those who are proud of India
Where are those who are proud
