Oceans apart and yet closest to my heart,
with unity as a tool and diversity as a spool,
there lies a country reckoned as a cultural school.
Oceans apart and yet closest to my heart,
with a cultural bliss that happens without any hiss,
there lies a country worth a reverent glimpse.
Oceans apart and yet closest to my heart,
with thousand millions’ say on any given day,
there lies a country that would always say 'secular we shall stay no matter what comes our way'.
Oceans apart and yet closest to my heart,
with historical acts amidst mythological facts,
there lies a country that witnessed a series of jolts only to end up as a country that stood like a rock for harmony in thought.
Oceans apart and yet closest to my heart,
I am here without any fear, I miss you my mother and you’d live in my heart forever.
Oceans apart and miles from my heart,
I wonder, I ponder but I surrender to the creation here under
