DIWALI FLAME

O' my holy earthen lamp

Flare-up your martial

potency to finish the

odds,

Make us free from chaos

and gloom that pervades

now in the universe.

Your welcome ceremony

gives us bliss and gaiety

amid the bewilderment,

Each year the globe welcomes your auspicious

arrival with the utmost flavour

and getups.

We praise you with divine

mother Kalee forever

with folded hands,

So as to solicit Mom to

shower on our head

Her nectarly blessings.

The twenty-first century

needs your helping hand

to root out every sadism

accompanied with inhumanity,

Which are prone to

torture innumerable

innocent global dwellers

with cruelty and vanity.

March on to us O' Divine

entity with purifier flames

and glazes that may be

a sacrificial fire for us,

Please destroy all the

disorders and ego from

within our hearts.

We pray you O"our Mom's

sanctified flame today the

holy day of Diwali to lighten

our cottages,

And invite the red tongue

drenched with the blood

of miscreants for blotting

out our negative

tendencies.

We are sons of that Divine

Mom cries and rolls down on

the thoroughfares today

by thrashing our heads,

Our tear-shed eyes stare

up like a lark to smear our

body with Mom's body

shed sanctifying ashes.

Never forget us O" Dipali

every year you must come

to surface by heralding

our Moms chariot driven

by wicked corpses,

She must stay here for

the time being letting us

to offer our heart's prayer

as well as the lamp's flames

to Her with foodstuffs to

Her ghostly attendants.
