Home, the heavenly place associated with peace
Where attachment and love for the family increase
Thinking of home, all the sorrows and pain cease
Mind rejuvenates filled with the pleasure of bliss
Ushering us towards the delightful paradise
The gentle caress my parents share
When to their norms I adhere
Punishment and harsh words they blare
When out of anger to their face, I glare
Home is yet the best place for warmth and care
Home hides the memories of my toddler days
The antechamber that I crawled on when mother chase
The walls that hide the palm prints of my young age
The windows through which to meadows I gaze
Twists my memories back, making me stay amazed
Home binds the souls of a different generation
From one generation to next inherits elation
Now that I have to work out of the station
Family cannot have face to face conversation
My heart aches with a surge of gloomy sensation
