As the dusk descends from the sky
And entraps rays of hills and plain
I return home and sink myself in
Even if it has no window no pane

Windows and doors can be mended
And the leaking roofs can be restored
I will not chide my saviour my home
And that dimly lit lamp on my door

I liked rising and setting of the sun
Admired all the phases of the moon
Loved sky, clouds and flowers, yet swoon
Hearing the chirps of my garden birds

To come back home I’ve left home
Reversion is nostalgic for everyone
Got a choice of having all out there
Still chose to return home having none

The outside world is for everyone
Everyone will get his share of joy
It’s a feat, if you’re awaited at home
In the end remains love, that’s all yours
