The
lamps were lit,
Whoosh!
Went the rockets,
Sailing
towards the sky.
Fused
into colours,
The
rangolis were born.
They
slept near the door way,
Wishing
and greeting everyone.
The
pure aroma of sweets,
Gushed
into my nose.
Yeah!
I had stomach aches,
But
blames were put on those.
The
house was decorated,
Atmosphere
was enchanted.
Windows
were lighted,
Cause
holidays were granted.
Mud
became our friend,
Cause
fort was to be made.
Maharaj
still rules our heart,
His
valour would never fade.
Those
silent peaceful nights,
Were
missing everywhere.
Cause
over enthusiastic fire crackers,
Were
present over there.
The
rich, the poor,
The
old and the young.
All
came together,
And
songs were what we sung.
Everything
was new,
From
head to toes.
Goddess
was welcomed,
And
spiritual thoughts arose.
So
friends, family and everyone
Make
yourself jolly.
Wish
you a very happy
And
prosperous DIWALI
