City of Dead - Karachi

Karachi..Karachi..Karachi...
I miss my old Karachi...
Where I could roam on the streets...
Till late night I could have the treats..

Karachi Karachi Karachi..
I miss you my old Karachi...

Where the 'chaat wala' would serve us chaat

and all us friends would have bun kebab's
the 'chai' at pyala hotel would be on

let it be night ... or let it be dawnn
we'd play cricket ... the whole night
halwa poori @ dhamthal ... It was full tight
we'd go to boat basin ... or just sea view

karhaii masttt with coke, sprite or dew!!
we'd roam on the streets ... when we had nothing to do
we'd play loud music in car ... and haf a race or two
Food Center's Biryani ... or kata-kat at Hussainabad
delicious juices at Agha ... Dhoraji or Nazimabad
sheesha at Damascus ... or dinner at Bar B Q tonight
life was good ... everything felt so right!

What happened next ... no one has a clue
hundreds are dying ... with this killing flu
I call it a flu 'coz it seems like a disease
there seems to be no cure ... its on an increase
58 dead in 52 hours ... 68 dead in seventy two
and for killers ... these numbers are still few!!!

Its the Month of Ramadan!! and its the same situation
its not just Karachi-ites ... Its the whole nation
It was the city of lights ... my Old Karachi
now the city of dead ... my Gold Karachi

Where I used to roam on the streets
Till late night ... I used to have the treats
Karachi ... O' my Beautiful City...
What is happening now ... Its such a Pity!
