Every time I study a defunct constitution and study elections, this song by Jagjit Singh rings true. I am not sure who wrote this, but its relevant to every political system. Here is the link.


ek brahman ne kahaa hai ke ye saal achchha hai

zulm ki raat bahut jald dhalegi ab to
aag chulhon men har ek roz jalegi ab to
bhukh ke maare koi bachcha nahin royega
chain ki neend har ek shakhs yahan soyega

andhi nafarat ki chalegi na kahin ab ke baras
pyaar kii fasal ugaegi zamiin ab ke baras
hai yakeen ab na koii shor-sharaba hoga
zulm hogaa na kahiin khoonkharaba hoga
ons aur dhuup ke sadamen na sahegaa koi
ab mere desh men beghar na rahegaa koi

naye vaadon kaa jo dala hai vo jaal achchha hai
rahanumaaon ne kahaa hai ke ye saal achchha hai

dil ke khush rakhane ko Ghalib ye khayal achchha hai
