aisa ek samrajya hua karta tha

kabhi iss dharti par,
mera hi rajya hua karta tha,
har shakhs sukhi tha jahan,
aisa ek samrajya hua karta tha.

na koi jaat-paat tha,
na hi koi dharm-majhab tha,
us sundar-si duniya ka,
to har drishya hi gazab tha.

na rajniti thi,
na bhrastachar hi tha,
sab swakch sochte the,
kahin koi kuwichar na tha.

na dikhte the kahin par
saje-dhaje nange,
aur naa hi hote the,
kahin koi dange.

par ab dharti se,
mera wilop ho chuka hai,
sare manwi mulyon ka,
ab khatma ho chuka hai.

main koi aur nahi,
balki insaan hoon,
par ab main, main na raha,
ban chuka main haiwan hoon.
