THE LIGHTS OF DIWALI

The lights of Diwali bless you

With inner light

No pains be with you

In day or night.

The god of wealth make you

A master of treasure

You will be surrounded

By every kind of pleasure.

All my countrymen be

Gentle, honest and no weak

Be good in their character and vision

And in their life they truth seek.

Their minds become free

From all blind faiths

They have will power to discard

The self-made gods or false saints.

They accept and follow action

O Heavenly Mother! Let them rise

From their slumber and take part

In good creation.
