Interpretation:
Rekhta AI
Firaq Gorakhpuri presents freedom as something made vivid and credible by the martyrs’ blood. “Color” suggests proof, intensity, and a visible reality born from sacrifice. The second line personifies “freedom” as a name that leaps through time, spreading and gaining force. The couplet’s emotional core is pride mixed with reverence for the cost paid to make liberty meaningful.
