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
