Ai dil hai mushkil jeena yahaan

zara hat ke, zara bach keye hai bombay meree jaan

Kaheen bilding kaheen traame kaheen motar kaheen mil
milaata hai yahaan sab kuchh ik milata nahin dil
insaan ka nahin kaheen naamonishaan
zara hat ke, zara bach ke
ye hai bombay meree jaan

"Have you fed, Aryaman?" Anahita enquired in a flat tone.
