Salaam Bombay !

From the ripped heart of the woman, covered in red saree
Salaam Bombay !
From the tore apart hand of the young boy
Salaam Bombay !
From the tears of the just widowed
Salaam Bombay !
From the oozing blood of the dead body near the train lines
Salaam Bombay !
you have witnessed the massacre
The wrath of bloodthirsty murderers
You have stood tall amidst rain and blood
Shared the pain of the sufferer with smiling hand
From the ripped heart of the dying Woman,
From the torn hand of the young boy
Blood has become tears today, tears too have dried up
Eyes want to cry, alas it is smashed by the piercing flash
Human body scattered everywhere, vultures encircling
Mud has turned red, platforms slippery with blood
From the ripped heart of the dying woman
From the torn hand of the young boy
Life will come back again seeking love and compassion
Blood red mud will turn green with ever smiling grass
Bombay, provide strength to the people in despair
Humanity, love will never see such downpour
Salaam Bombay !
