Hyderabad

The basti filled with 
glamour, and the chai of irani
the smell of
dum biryani

from the era of nizams
came the ruins of the city
the city so great, it has
stories of valour
carved into the heart of its core

money is never lonely
for in this city, it's
used on everyday things
for, the indian roller sings

night time's the best
in this great city of hyderabad
as it sparkles with lights
take a stroll you feel like sinbad

the ramzaan haleem
tasty it is, as it may seem
dawn reaches 
the great city of hyderabad
