New Delhi

New Delhi:

I may have high crime rate

and I might be unsafe

but my beauty is mesmerising

and I can entertain you everyday.

Go to the high street or markets

and you’ll see shacks of faux fashion

 and carts serving local delicacies

savoury chaat and sweetmeats .

I’m packed with ancient history

that dates back to Mamluk Dynasty

If you ever visit me

You’ll be amazed at the architecture

of the Mughals

and would almost be taken back

to their memories

I hold people from every religion and caste

Tenuously living in pretentious peace

but when it comes to festivals

they join together in celebration

All cities have pros and cons

and so do I,

but if you live here

you’d never get bored.
