kahi auto kahi texy chale kahi train
jagi jagi rahti hai is city ki har lein
sidha chalne wale ko sab kahte hai inset
jo bhi yaha aaye aake phir na jaye
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar

unche unche tawar jaha milte waha maut
kaisa crazy system hai ye kaisa hai bahar
jitna uncha jayenge hum utna gehra faul
jo bhi yaha aaye aake phir na jaye
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar

sadko ke panchhi hanske jite hai jaha
ghar me rahne wale phir kyu hai paresha
tension mat lo yaro do din jina hai yaha
jo bhi yaha aaye aake phir na jaye
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar

sharing kamro ki ya koi bante yaha dil
bazi kare koi yaha koi bhare dil
gairo ko bhi kar lete hai apno me shamil
jo bhi yaha aaye aake phir na jaye
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar
ye hai mumbai its my mumbai
ye hai mumbai meri jaan yaha tu rahna hoshiyar

Where autos and taxis dance, and trains ignite the track,
Every lane of this city, forever keeps awake.
They call the straight-hearted "inset" in this endless maze,
Once you come, you don't depart, lost in its daze.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.

Towers that touch the heavens, where death and fortune meet,
A crazy system, a strange, vibrant heat.
The higher we climb, the deeper the fall we face,
Once you come, you don't depart, lost in its embrace.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.

Street birds laugh and live, with the dawn's first gleam,
While those in homes are troubled, lost in a dream.
Don't worry, friends, just two days we'll see,
Once you come, you don't depart, forever free.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.

Sharing rooms or hearts, it's all the same to see,
Some play the game of life, while others set hearts free.
Strangers become family, in this city's decree,
Once you come, you don't depart, eternally.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.
This is Mumbai, it's my Mumbai.
Mumbai, my life, here, be wise.
