Many people throng the temples to offer,
Prayers, rituals to inhale  for better power,
Today is the day to begin with love and light,
A festival rays of peace in the hearts in bright,
A joyful day and night with all novel delight,
All eyes and hands holding white candle light.
And most of them are richly dressed and keen,
And eat such graceful food and sweets clean
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on Earth ever been
But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad,
Today's the triumph of Good over the bad,
True joy is always when you see smile  in glad,
Love and prosperity in the minds enthralled.
Many people throng the Temples to offer,
Prayers, rituals to inhale  for better power.
