Ashfaqullah Khan (22 October 1900 – 19 December 1927) was an Indian freedom fighter who had sacrificed his life along with Ram Prasad Bismil.
Bismil and Ashfaq were good friends and Urdu shayers. Bismil was the takhallus or pen name of Pandit Ram Prasad whereas Ashfaq used to write poetry with the pen name of Hasrat
Just before he was hanged at the Faizabad jail, he was asked
about his last wish. In reply, he recited the following
Kuchh aarzoo naheeN hai, hai aarzoo to yeh hai
Rakh de koi zara si KHaak-e-watan kafan men
