Café Leopold began in 1871
It was started by Mr. Irani
With food fit for a rani.
Slowly Leo became famous
But Irani stayed anonymous
It stood on Colaba causeway
And was open night and day.
It was open at the terror attack
While all guns when phatak phatak
I went there with my parents
And everything was normal in appearance
Until I saw the bullet hole
And felt the spirit of Leopol(d).
We saw scores of people there
Eating and drinking all they could bear
The bullet hole was in the mirror
Kept there as a reminder
Of the horrible day
When bullets were fired away
And terror aroused the city of Bombay
