Devgiri Poem by Ramesh Joshi

Oh! Devagiri now Doulatabad
you are trapped up by Moghals
A Hindu bride in form of treasury
was rapped  by Mohammad Ghajani.

You had suitors from many sides
Tughalak was one who made  queen,
He made you  queen  making a kingdom
He lived with you till you left him.

You are strong fort in seven phases,
Six thousand and odd steps you have
climb on thy breast to kiss face
Wonder is still you be young to look.

Who climbs you now daily?
Travellers Indian, foreign,
They come and go in  wonder,
None dares touch you  now.

Why  so? reasons I know not,
you are Devagiri, the mountain
of Gods dwell where men dare not,
They know  so and take thy rounds.

you live long in  History
you live long in memory love
May you live in treasures of wealth
you live long in the laps of the land.
