Mumbai

Breath of my people
Darken my trembling walls
As these lead ashen skies embrace
Wailing days that forever linger

Every frozen tear now whimpering
Waiting the everlasting night;
And squarely black the longing gems
Studded within despair droop

Withered my hands rake destinies
Every moment a debt to Time
As day squanders night a gamble of light
Surrenders withering souls

Oh soul of my world
Watch over my millions tonight
They owe a life to torn hopes
Though never this grief you see

And carry a song to wherever
The dream seems to shine
When waters of pain gush from you
Only your love can be mine
