This day Hindus celebrate The holy festival of light, So as to commemorate The victory of right over might.
This day the lamp’s waving flame Welcomes the Goddess Lakshimi To bring blessings, without blame, To all the faithfuls, every me.
Hindus pray for compassion, And spiritual awakening, In their holy communion, For ignorance’s banishing.
Divali commemorates Victory of good over evil; Today Hindus calibrate Goodness, to reject the devil.
This day is celebrated With the greatest joy, and good cheer, And wishes highly rated, Cherished by family and friends dear.
