Family days, festive nights,
The sky is ablaze, with fireworks lights.
Habitual ritual, for over 4,000 years.
We're dancing and singing, with merriment cheers.
Diya dinning lamps are lit.
Expressing hospitable Diwali wit.
Our hosts are diligent, Our dishes are set.
"Thank you, Vishnu. Is the food ready yet? "
With heads humbly bowed, we bless and praise,
Then we wine and dine, while the music plays
Every mother's child, have taken their places
As we gather together, feeding our faces.
With delight and gratitude, we joyfully dine.
Every feeding before us; "Ummm! ... just fine."
You! Come now. Don't tarry. Don't wait.
Everyone is invited to celebrate.
YOU'RE ALL FAMILY, YOU ALL HAVE YOUR RIGHTS.
Come share our Hindu Festival, of Diwali Feast And Lights.
