No place like home

There is no place like home
At the break of dawn you hear the call to prayer
Rooster crowing
Birds chirping
Crows crowing
There is no place like home

Home sweet home
Your abahee land
Where every molecule within you is resonant with the soil, air, and water.
There is no place like home

Home sweet home
Sweet regardless of the chaos
Sweet regardless of the madness
Sweet regardless of the jahalat
There is no place like home

Home sweet home
It's home even when you're given a side while driving
It's home even if the road is riddled with pot holes
It's home even when the traffic police rudely gestures you to go straight instead of making a left turn
It's home despite utter unprofessionalism at conferences
It's home despite the manghaee
There is no place like home
It's home when an irritated motorist honks you to proceed at a red light
There is no place like home

Home sweet home
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the soul is at peace
There is no place like home
Your abahee watan
The watan that breathed life into you
The watan where you are part of the whole
There is no place like home

You can travel the world
Yet there is no place like home
There is no place like your hum watan

Home is where the heart is a peace
Home is where you feel whole again
There is no place like home
