The Illusion of Democracy

लोकतंत्र का मुखौटा, सत्ता का खेल है, जनतंत्र की आवाज़, बस भ्रम का मेल है।

धन का संकेंद्रण, केवल कुछ हाथों में, अभाव का जीवन, शोषितों की राहों में।

Dhan ka sankendran, keval kuch haathon mein, abhav ka jeevan, shoshiton ki raahon mein.

The concentration of wealth remains in only a few hands; a life of scarcity lies in the paths of the exploited.

समृद्धि का मिथक, जो सबको बहलाता है, सच्चाई में तो केवल, शोषण ही पाता है।

Samriddhi ka mithak, jo sabko behlaata hai, sachai mein toh keval, shoshan hi paata hai.

The myth of prosperity that deceives everyone; in truth, it only results in exploitation.
