Yeh Delhi Hai Mere Yaar...

Welcome to the capital of the nation,
A bill approved here, later becomes a legislation.
Street food so famous, causes traffic jams,
Window shopper buying stuff in kilograms.
We welcome everyone with wide open arms,
Jama Masjid's morning prayers are our alarms.

Cabs and autos on strike? It's about to rain?
Not a mayhem in Delhi, thanks to the Metro train.
Hauz Khas Fort? One with that lake. Right?
Be a tourist here in the day; A party freak at night.
Wanna have a roll? Gotcha!
Let me take you to Khan Chacha.

There are two temples here, not sure of which gods.
Akshardham is more of a historic site,
The other, Lotus, indeed one, tranquil and white.
Morning's langar at the Sahib Bangla (Bangla Sahib),
Noon's namaaz at the Nizamuddin Dargah.

Green lungs of the city, the Lodi Gardens and the Nehru Park,

India Gate reignites the patriotism spark.
Visit Gandhi's memorial, at the Rajghat,
Find mini India at the Dilli Haat.
On 15th August we invite the P.M. at the Red Fort,
While he is no less than us, in the eyes of the Supreme Court.

But what Delhi gained over these years,

Made women security one of our biggest fears.
The culprit here won't pay a fine, rather
Would say "Don't you the name of my father!"
While people here are fighting with pollution,
Population problems too needs a solution.

We have the bads, but we good too,
With big hearts we welcome you.
So whenever you fail to bargain with that hawker,
Or maybe you get confined, thanks to traffic, in your car,
Just bring a smile on your face and remember,
"Yeh Delhi hai mere yaar!"
