Manchali ki kahani

Yeh bhi ek kahani hain

chand taro ne bhi suni hain

waise yeh barso purani hain

raja ki kai raniya hain

par ek badi manchali hain

uski baat hi kuch nirali hain

aankhon main ek sachchai hain

bato main sadhgi hain

wo kahan koi rajumari thi

uski duniya badi aam thi

jangaloan main pali badhi thi

use wahan na koi kami khali thi

mahelon main wo raja bina akeli thi

raja ne use dil se jita tha

uske liye toh wo khansama tha

kai aam mainse ek tha

apni roji-roti kamata tha

use raja ke dhan se na koi vasta tha

bus thode pyar ki icha thi

woh bhi puri ho jaati thi

kissa yeh toh purana hai

raja ki kai raniya hai

par ek rani badi jalti thi

woh thodi purani thi

manchali ki batoon pe bighdti thi

apne kuvar ke haq ke liye darti thi

apne bete ke liye rajniti karti thi

manchali bholi kuchna samjh ti thi

raja ko ab intezar tha

ek nayi rajkumari ya rajkumar aane ko tha

jalkudi ne bus pheri nai chal

sikha diye bete ko bol

manchali ke pet main hain

tere sukh ka chor

suun manchali hui behaal

socha usne

tatola usne

manchali thi gumsum

khoi khoi

janme do rajkuar

khushi loti thodi uske muskan par

par na meeti un shabdo ki awaz

usne nischit kiya

wo tolegi raja ka mann

pehen ke aai wo aadivasi vesh

aakhir kaisi sharm apne desh

bhare darbar

raja sharmaya

bola

rani badlo vesh

ab aap ho maharani

manchali ne pucha

kon hain uttaradhikari

kya mera putr banega raja

raja hichkichaya par mana

manchali ne pher diye paase

boli

main na maharani

na mere putr hain rajkuvar

main jungloan ki

mere putr jangl ke vasi

na wo chor

na koi shor

hame toh pyari hamari aazadi hain

hame swikar nahi yeh chaar diwari

waise toh raja ke kai raniya thi

par wo uske dil ki rani thi

par uska dil toh khansamene jeeta tha

na ki kisi rajane

raja bhula hakikat

gavaya pyar

woh phir na loti

raja phir na hasa

yeh toh ek kahani hain

badi purani hain

chand taro ne bhi suni hain
