Diwali the Festival of Light
Trailing the path of autumn late
Arrives the festival of light,
Diwali time to celebrate,
That brings to worshippers delight
Marks triumph of good over evil
Of knowledge over ignorance,
Wards off foul stinks of the devil
Burns off the wicks of arrogance.
Disperses the gloom of darkness
And ushers the rays of brightness
Time ahead of the festival
As we clean our homes and surrounds
To welcome divine arrival,
Let our soul with true love abound,
Our heart flower with compassion
And our mind bloom with caring thoughts
For folks in dire needs this season;
Let`s drive bane of hatred to nought
And free ill-feelings from our breast
That all the year round we are blessed.
As we prepare diyas to light
Let`s sign new chapters in our life,
Chapters that will be ever bright
In spring of joy and times of strife,
Chapters scribbled with ink of truth
Illumed by faith in the divine
That`ll steer our way to peace, in sooth,
And pervade our life with sunshine.
As we flick on the strings of lights
Let us kindle our inner self
Dispel dark despair of the night
Ignite hope and trust in ourselves
Share savours of sweet happiness
Strengthen bonds of relationship
Uphold the flag of righteousness
And cement our ties of friendship.
As lights flicker on streets and homes,
With hearts warm with love, let`s embrace
Unity as the epitome,
Irrespective of creed or race,
Offer gratitude to the Lord
For showering on us His grace
And sail all together on board
Hurdles and challenges to face,
Pray for prosperity for all
And reap fruits of growth as a whole.
