Times admiring the gleaming, radiant light,
Bringing jubilance and contentment, celestial and bright!
Crackers bursting, echoing chaos throughout the night,
Smiles and luminous diyas scattered across the sight,
Children, teens, and adults, all transcendent with delight.
Gulab Jamuns, Rasagullas, amid this ethereal glow,
A festival aesthetic, before aesthetics we even know!
Culture and harmony, combined in one splendid show,
Lotus-like mirth that forever continues to grow,
Everlasting excitement, like rivers that flow.
Crackers here and there, thrills in the glowing fire,
From children to grandparents, hearts awaken with desire!
Happiness spreading like wildfire, moments that inspire,
Everyone sharing kindness, kindling dreams that never expire,
The whole nation united, singing like an ethereal choir.
A festival loved by all, it doesn’t bring joy, it is joy,
With tradition, culture, kindness, euphoria, and unity to employ.
Amidst it all, safety first, then freedom to enjoy,
Some courageous, some cautious, children playing with a toy,
A celebration so vibrant, bidding it ‘bye’ is hard to deploy.
Light escaping like sunlight through fog in the dark,
A wonder for heart and mind, it ignites a spark.
Everyone waiting, excited, for the grand journey to embark,
This day, colorfully and splendidly marked on the calendar as a hallmark,
With beauty and safety, let the fireworks soar in a brilliant arc!
