Your Nation Is Your Guesthouse

Your nation is your guesthouse
Tourist, explorer you come and go
Where you rest for a while and go
Have good fun, joy  and friendship
In the nation keeping you as guest

As guest in the shared guesthouse
Take time to love and make friends
Other  guests with you sojourners
When you are a Chief Guest there
Behave as a dutiful guest of guests

Not a socket, bulb-holder, chairs
Never bedding, cups and bottles
Should be found in your hand bag
No egotism in the use of property 
Other incoming guests need them 

And when your time to go comes
Ordinary or chief guest that you are
Your room sweep clean and fresh
Say goodbye to other guests in love
Wait not to be thrown to veranda

Your nation is your sure guesthouse
Respect so well rules of guest-hood
