I, Diwali!

A festival that Hindus long celebrate,

The best of all in the joy they create!

Making unforgettable cherishes we rate

And sharing those tasty sweets we ate!

The sky I lit by crackers with my mates,

The right settles the score straight,

Over the wrongs on this decisive date!

When Satyabama in her might

Downed Narakashura to his plight!

Making our dull and anxious minds bright!

The night view beautiful with grand sights

Elders' blessings filling us with delight!

To remember and celebrate victory

Victory of the glorious God over evil,

Of our Saviour Lord Krishna over the devils!

To wash our past grumpy grudges,

And repent for the said sledges!

May blooming new friendships upsurge!

You know it's Diwali, make merry sway,

For all the Earth's goodness, is due today!
