Life in Mumbai
With dreams in their eyes and desires in their heart
All they aspire in life is a humble start
People walk in and it warmly embraces them all
Mumbai, the city of dreams it is rightly called
Local trains running incessantly are it’s invaluable lifeline
Always a panicky hustle bustle at the peak of time
Once seated people get busy doing their own things
A few even catch their precious couple of winks
The busy feet and the even busier young minds
Are tirelessly and relentlessly simply working overtime
They never somehow realize where to put a fullstop
Trying to meet ends meet by working round the clock
Mumbai, an unrestful city that never ever sleeps
Amchi Mumbai , a city that is always on its feet
A place that is always bustling with vibrant life
Despite adversities manages to keep afloat with its spirit alive
A place for weaving futures is the buzzing Marine drive
People spend hours watching the sea and overcast skies
A good number of health fanatics you can easily trace
Panting and puffing while preparing for a marathon race
Street food of the city is famous across the globe
They are the only solace in situations difficult to cope
The richest man and the poorest
share the same living space
An unbridgeable gap only a bounteous city like Mumbai can erase
The snarling traffic and pot holes on the roads
Tourists and visitors are forever ready to loathe
No one but only a Mumbaikar will truly understand
Why Mumbai is still the heartbeat of every man
