Deepawali is a festival of lights,
which offers wonderful sights.
Fireworks in the starry sky,
along with bright candle kites.
Let luminance light up the dark
to create scenic patterns of art.
Let an ebullience of altruistic joy
spring from your gracious heart.
Let there be blooming flowers,
be strewn on paths that you walk.
Symphonies of melodious music,
flow streaming in the way you talk.
Through its shining pearls galore
says the sparkling morning dew,
It is your time to rise and shine
as one of the chosen few.
