Adieu Delhi..!

I offer a voice, O Delhi

For days I passed for thy tender wings

Countless evenings near Red Fort

Remembering the mighty Mughals

While uttering a solemn prayer

But, yet yearn to remain there

As a perpetual wanderer with flare

The days I spent would never end

And mist of time will not fade my saga

Faces, Masses and lasses I saw

Will be with me till I see the shore of Lanka

From the flamboyant corners of Chandani Chowk

To the bowers of amorous love in Nehru Park

I roamed, I ran and I learnt

And it is time for me to depart.

The crisp wind of summer which blew near my ear

And the hymns of pigeons I adored to hear

Everlasting colour of thy grandeur

Aroused me to be a merry good bard.
