kisi shahr mein ek rahta tha raja
kisī shahr meñ ek rahtā thā raajā

sunā.ūñ tumheñ ek din kī kahānī
masahrī pe baiThī thī raaja kī raanī
ki itne meñ ik nannhī munnī c chiḌiyā

uThā aur ġhusse se taalī bajā.ī
diyā hukm faujoñ kā sālār aa.e
ki fauj aa ke chiḌiyā pe golī chaliye
milā hukm faujoñ kā sālār aaya
parā aa ke faujoñ kā us ne jamāyā
magar nannhī chiḌiyā thī himmat kī aalī
kiyā us ne dushman kā har vaar ḳhālī
vo uḌtī phirī saare kamre ke andar
aur aa baiThī raanī ke kañdhe ke uupar
to raanī ko us par bahut pyaar aaya
use apne āñchal meñ jhaT-paT chhupāyā
ye dekhā to raaja bahut saTpaTāyā
magar apnī raanī se kuchh kah na paayā
to raanī use dekh kar muskurā dī
uThī aur khiḌkī se chiḌiyā uḌā dī
kisi shahr mein ek rahta tha raja
wo raja tha bajta hua ek baja
yun hi aate jaton se takrar karta
hawa par bhi talwar se war karta
sunaun tumhein ek din ki kahani
masahri pe baiThi thi raja ki rani
ki itne mein ek nannhi munni c chiDiya
liye chonch mein ek chhoTa sa tinka
chali aai rani ke kamre ke andar
aur aa baiThi rani ke bilkul barabar
ye dekha to raja ne tewri chaDhai
uTha aur ghusse se tali bajai
diya hukm faujon ka salar aae
ki fauj aa ke chiDiya pe goli chaliye
mila hukm faujon ka salar aaya
para aa ke faujon ka us ne jamaya
magar nannhi chiDiya thi himmat ki aali
kiya us ne dushman ka har war KHali
wo uDti phiri sare kamre ke andar
aur aa baiThi rani ke kandhe ke upar
to rani ko us par bahut pyar aaya
use apne aanchal mein jhaT-paT chhupaya
ye dekha to raja bahut saTpaTaya
magar apni rani se kuchh kah na paya
to rani use dekh kar muskura di
uThi aur khiDki se chiDiya uDa di
