November In Varanasi
Varanasi town’s radiance glows vibrant tonight
‘Neath the moonbeams soft autumn flow
It’s the full moon festival of the god’s sacred light:
Dev Deepawali; joyous spirits will glow
The Hindu month of Kartika is finally here
With lotus lakes sparkling bright
Women in stunning bright saris appear
With marigolds and songs of delight
Clay dija lamps will shine this night
In every corner of every room
To remind us of the god’s gift of light
And good and knowledge over evil and gloom
