Old DELHI (Walled City) - Heritage City
It is a friend, it is an ally
East India’s heart and warm belly
Weather varies from hot to chilly
I was born here in Old DELHI
-
It treats prince and pauper equally
Mere Rs 10 can feed you fully
Find here what’s available globally
Pahari Imli area is crowded and hilly
-
Machhli Walon hospital for women ideally
Enjoy nihari, jalebi, dahi-bade, jelly
Meet here Karim, Kulvinder, Kelly
Nai Sarak - clothes, books in little lolly
-
Unani medicine cures almost magically
Eid celebrated with fervor nationally
Sufi saints bless the city occasionally
Generally people are pally pally
-
Mushairas, havelis, rickshaws go quizzically
Urdu lends old world charm really
Narrow lanes scented and also smelly
Ghalib, Khusrou soaps seen on telly
-
Lal Qila visit ends the trip usually
Qutub Minar is a delight visually
Jama Masjid is a treat wholly
Chandni Chowk shows spirit exuberantly
-
Fatehpuri, Nizamuddin, Okhla - go youthfully
This is my city, my spirit roams zestfully
