Meri Jaan Mumbai

All I wondered, Who is she?
I thought I had seen thee...

Are you the one I could smell on landing,
Or are you the one, that got my heart beat pounding?

Are you the home to one and all,
Or are you the one who gives strength to rise from any fall...

Are you the aura I get to see on those millions of face?
Or are you are the one adorned by the Queens Necklace?

Are you the land of the Temple, Mosque, Gurudwara and Church?
Or are you the place which has always been sitting on the perch?

Are you the land of the rich and poor?
Or are you the one who brings them near?

Are you the one travelling through the train?
Or are you the beauty drenched in the Monsoon Rain?

Are you the stalls of the vada, bhaji and samosa? 
Or are you the smell of the road side dosa?

Are you the taste of the pipping hot Chai?
Oh you are my Sweetheart "Meri Jaan Mumbai"...
