Yeh hai Mumbai meri jaan...

The past two weeks we've gone through a lot,
yet the city does not complain,
it is becoz of this resilient spirit of ours,
that everyone takes us for granted,

be it the rains or the floods,
the vandalism of the sainiks,
or the blasts in the locals,
the next day we all were back to our lives,

while we went for peaceful candlelight processions,
the world prayed for us and our wellbeing,
but why are people targetting the innocent?
what crime have we committed?

we pay our taxes, we protect our environment,
we are dutiful citizens but we are a world of our own,
Oh Lord, forgive those who have been passive so far,
Give them strength to stand up and raise their voice,

Let Mumbai not be just a resilient city,
let us become a vociferous city,
Lets raise our voices together,
and push all the evil out forever,

Oh Mumbai! we love you loads,
come on everybody,
lets pave the road..
