Paschim Kohi Purba Ghar" (पश्चिम कोही पूर्व घर) is an iconic Nepali nationalistic and patriotic choral song written, composed, and sung by the legendary musician Gopal Yonjan. Officially featured on his acclaimed patriotic studio album titled Nisani-53 released via Music Nepal, the track acts as a powerful anthem for national harmony, cultural unity, and collective pride. Yonjan's brilliant composition blends a stirring, uplifting orchestral arrangement with a harmonized chorus backing his commanding, soulful lead vocals. Widely broadcast across national media like Nepal Television during major national holidays, the song remains etched in the Nepalese collective consciousness as a timeless masterpiece celebrating countrywide solidarity.
The song delivers a poetic yet straightforward message advocating for unity across geographic and cultural divides. The opening lines translate to "Some have homes in the West, some in the East, but our courtyard remains the same" ("Paschim kohi purba ghar, aagan tara eutai ho"), emphasizing that no matter how scattered the citizens are, they are all children of the same motherland. Yonjan cleverly utilizes natural metaphors, noting that major rivers like the Karnali, Mahakali, Koshi, and Bagmati all originate from the same Himalayan snowmelts, just as beautiful flowers like the rhododendron (Gurans) and orchids (Sunakhari) share the same communal garden. Through these beautiful descriptions, the track reminds listeners that different names and regions ultimately unite under a single sovereign identity
