The Tale of a Zestful City
There is a city not too far
Where a human can walk faster than a car
This city can turn a beggar into a king
Here an operation is not just a surgery but also sting
This city boasts of being the capital of money
Asia’s biggest slum is here, Ain’t that funny?
This city houses universities that has so many scholars
This city resides people that live a month in 100 dollars
You see people running after money even at the cost of their life
Here languages are taller than mountains & words are sharper than knife
Thousands of people travel over here from one place to another
Here circumstances arise where your relative is your foe & a stranger is your brother
This city has a culture & an attitude of its own
“Chalta Hai” it is called & on the streets it has grown
The city has a lifeline which everyday draws blood
The people along with their sins are washed away in calamities like flood
2 years back the TAJ was thrown to the ground
And Mumbai was brought down to its knees
But the people over here soon forgot the pain
Thanks to increasing fees
Mumbaikar’s always learn to adjust
And they adjust time & again
Here a ‘Breaking News’ means nothing at all
& common man is always in pain.
This City has seen many high’s and low’s
And Nobody has the time to even feel pity
This is the story of Mumbai meri jaan
The Tale of a Zestful city
