Diwali is our national festival
The festival of light
We celebrate it every year
With a new height.
All the homes are decorated
Inside and outside
By the variety of lamps, handicrafts
That is our pride.
The night is celebrated with crackers, lights
And country made goods
Candle, Rangoli, Sweets are picked up
Just like the loots.
We celebrate this occasion
With peace, joy and experience
Like victory over defeat, light over darkness
And awareness over ignorance.
Asit Kumar Sanyal
