Diwali

City is shining like a bride, it’s kartik amavas’ night,

Divine flame of diyas, twinkling everywhere until the sight.

Glittering, bright rangolies in galleries,

are enhancing beauty of the bride.

Mango leaves, marigold flowers, Shining jhalars and bright lanterns,

Are adding charm to the night,

Little ones are joyous, elders are attending guests,

And wishing all and offering sweets,

What a contentment and pleasure.

And this is the auspicious time,

To worship goddess Lakshmi

Melodious and holy prayers are spreading blessings everywhere

Someone who’s sitting in the corner with folded hands

Is eagerly waiting for the crackers.

Sky is filled with sparkles, glitters and shine.

This night is like a bride. Yes!! It’s the Diwali night.
