When do we get to see Ghalib's Delhi?

That city is a wonderland
A portkey to history
Walled cities and cities within cities
Eco's maps as Polo and Great Khan
on balmy nights over brews talked

Every stone wall breathes here
Lest we stayed indoors fearing time's sprint
or a hasty cappuccino which put a shroud around
As museums for each other
With memories of the waves
The smell of the rains
And conversations of a night bygone
'Let us see history another day'
