Sarfaroshi literally means: Cutting ones own head in sacrifice to someone. In the poems context that someone is the Nation. The meaning of the title therefore is that you desire to cut your head and place it on the feet of the nation in sacrifice. This poem was written during India's struggle for independence against thee British rule.
