Another one for Mumbai

It is the city with thousands lights
Of dreams, of men, of mad mad nights

You can run a million miles and try
this city will show you pleasures for life
Which grew from all its blocked up drains
and clogged up roads and houses bent...

They see the scum, i see the sky
and hope and hope for more delights
the potholes trip and scrape my knees
i stand right back, for Promised land

That land shall see one more new face
flash lights will shine on one more name
Till then i walk the crowded road
and smile on at that stranger's face...

    The last para rightly points at your spirit - the undying spirit of Bombay :)
