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
