An Old Age Home

Oh, Once a noble and beloved son of Bhārath!

Is it your Dharma to forget your parents?

Is it your Dharma to forget their unconditional love for you?

Is an old age home the way you repay?

Is an old age home the token of your gratitude?

Oh most dearest to them, than the entire world!

Is it your Dharma to cut ties with them forever?

Is it your Dharma to neglect their ill health?

Is your achievement and ambition greater,

when their body becomes feeble and tender, just like yours when you were an infant?

Is an old age home the way you repay?

Is an old age home the token of your gratitude?

Oh successful one, the world may praise you for your success!

Your awards and accolades are redundant,

if you neglect the Dharma that you owe to your parents!

Remember that your ego and your goals are time bound!

Remember that your youth and your pretty wife, are time bound! 

Remember that your wealth is time bound!

Remember that you will be where they are one day, too!
