My city has a laid back attitude,
so they say……
It resonates with honks of gaiety
Adorned with Awadhi culture and architecture
Catching up with the rhythm of progression
The green serene Cantonment area,
The noisy but happening Qaiser bagh
The soft pace of the river Gomti
The majestic campus of the University
Hazratganj remains the heartbeat of Lucknow
Aminabad reverberates with casual bargaining
‘Tis the hub of the active political arena
Bureaucracy remains its strong spine
The Taj, the malls, the green parks
Gomti Nagar makes its mark
Unmistakable camaraderie at the paan shops
Unfortunate landing of red spit on the roads
The inimitable style of boasting beyond belief
The colorful kites dotting the blue sky
The age-old tradition still has some enthusiasts
O My city! you are the epitome of culture and hospitality
Do retain your essence and vitality.
