Bombay Meri Hei
O city of many peoples dream, o my beloved Bombay
Aamchi Mumbai miss you I do so very much, in many a way.
For enjoyed I did my childhood there, you were my very own Bombay
Along with you, now gone is the love n warmth of my parents, whom I miss every single day.
My school, college n Hosp. friends, shared with whom I have many a cherished day
Your splendid buildings, monuments lure me; of them what can I say !
Also I miss the Paak Atash Behrams n Agiyaris where we went to pray.
Those yummy eating joints; ah! Sooooo many; long is the list, tempt me like shiny golden hay
Every foodiie's stomach n heart in those varied joints lies, this emphatically I do say
My Af, took us out for treats many, and would never allow us to pay
Family picnics we had umpteen; Juhu n Aaksa Beach mention I must, where games many we did play
Remember I, how every New Year's eve, to those lovely lilting numbers, all night we did sway
O beautiful beloved Bombay, even now my head and heart in you does lie, that's all I can say.
