WAH WAH Kanpur...
Woh Naveen Market ka sama, woh Hanuman ki chaat,
Woh Wengers ki ice cream, Wah usme thi kuch baat.
Woh Mithaas ki mithai, woh iit ka dosa,
Woh Gyan Vaishno ki pav bhaji aur Shukla ka samosa.
Woh rikshaw ka saffer, woh Moti Jheel ki hawa,
Woh Buddha Park ki raunak aur Kent ka sama.
Woh January ki kadake ki sardi, woh baarishon ke mahiney,
Woh garmi ki chuttiyan, jab chute the they paseeney.
Woh holi ki masti, woh doston ki toli,
Woh Arya Nagar ka mahol, woh Ganga ki leheren,
Woh Bithoor ka nazara, Wah uske kya kehene.
Woh Swaroop Nagar ki galiyan , woh CSJM ki ladkiyan.
Woh COncorde ki balcony aur woh Jaisreeram ki pooriyan
Woh Aromas ka Chinese,woh Anaichas ka style
Woh school ki life aur woh College ki Zindagi,
Woh Polytechnic ka rasta aur woh Canteen ki patties ,.
Woh Gumti ka market,wo highway ke dhabe
Wo Bada chauraha , wo Central station………
Itna sab keh diya par dil kehta hai aur bhi kuch kahoon
Wo shehar hain apna, jiska naam hai K A N P U R

About Kanpur
Kanpur was a tinderbox in the independence and literary movements during the 1900-1950 period. The largest shopping centre is named Navin Market, after the poet Bal Krishna Sharma aka "Navin". Later poets included Gopal Das "Niraj" who also had a successful spell writing songs for "Bollywood" movies. Kanpur is also the birth place of Shyamlal Gupta `Parshad’, composer of the famous ditty Vijayee Vishwa Tiranga Pyara. The propagation and popularization of Hindi also owes much to this city, with great Hindu literatteurs like Acharya Mahavir Parasad Dwivedi, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, Pratap Narain Mishra and Acharya Gaya Prasad Shukla `Sanehi’. The Agricultural University is named after the revolutionary Chandrashekhar Azad and the Medical College after Ganesh Shanker Vidyarthi; both men spent much time in Kanpur. While ChandraShekhar 'Azad' was born in a village in nearby district of Unnao and shot himself when surrounded by a huge posse of British soldiers at Alfred Park, Allahabad, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi was killed during the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1948 at Kanpur in Phoolbagh.
