Love Thy Mumbai

She was rigged, bombed, shattered
For several times in history
Yet she rises up every time in victory
Such is the spirit of Aapli Mumbai

Floods clog her streets, services disrupt
And every thing turns real scary
She blows out kisses of unity
Help! Stay one! Whispers Aapli Mumbai

At riots, her sons fought, killed,
And slaughtered each other insanely
Yet, she unites them during a calamity
So profound is the love of Aapli Mumbai

Where Rahim dances during Ganpati
And Prasad walks to Hajji Ali
That’s the sense of brotherhood
Infused and injected by Aapli Mumbai

She has, with warm welcomes
Graced each one, and every body
To fulfill their dreams, attain success
She is enterprising, she’s Aapli Mumbai

We care, as she does for us
Dare anyone, defy our unity, for no one
Can shatter us, our spirit, pledge we,
The children of this maximum city.
