Hmmn. It was in a headline about the assassination of Salman Taseer...

Re: Tell me about جان بحق (jaan bahaq)

there is no difference in the meaning...word faut comes from the word wafaat and marg are the actual words meaning DEATH while "jaaN-ba-Haq" [jaaN=life, ba=to/with. Haq=God...life to God=life returning to God Almighty] and "chal basnaa" [transfered to another world] are implied words to mean death...there are other words "Rabb-e-Haqeeqii se jaa milnaa", "intiqaal farmaa jaanaa", "dunyaa se ruKhsat honaa", "reHlat darmaa jaanaa", etc...all mean DEATH...it's just the linguistic finesse...that's all!

so yeah in taseer's case it is right. "salman taseer goli lagne se jaan-bahaq ho gaye"
