AGELESS EPITOME

Rise O soul from darkness dense,

Quit slumber awaken spirits sense,

Let, billion-life realize land ancient,

Tradition, lamp light bright decent, (1)

 

Fades ignorance, vice, evil practice,

Enlighten heart attains purity nice,

Sing invisible creator His glory rise,

Here festival of night praise precise, (2)

 

Song spreads love pure serves land,

Fate deprive people need help hand,

Poor, destitute, jobless, sick, sound,

Celebrate, Diwali cheerful profound, (3)

 

Creator lives never mean temple nit,

Heart, poor sick orphan kid explicit,

Abode of Lord, handicap, aged feel,

Diwali season wish serve pains heal, (4)

 

Hunger painful than death alleviate,

Goddess prosperity let less alienate,

Night worship prosperity, let equal,

Lands belong to rich, poor, parallel, (5)

 

Life precious let sufferer feel solace,

Occasion Diwali night clear morass,

Soil, length, and breadth rejuvenate,

Offer bountiful grain hunger satiate, (6)

 

People caste, creed, color, unite feel,

Lamp-lighted darkness defeats heal,

Ends bitterness rivalry quarrel total,

Shorter human life yet ego mortal, (7)

 

Fraternity understanding night seal,

Land burst cracker, sign victory feel,

Victory over division faction distrust,

Celebrations least understood, burst, (viii)

 

Solemn promises nation unites right,

Spread community goodwill delight,

Suspicion hatred doubt never exist,

Communal bonhomie, love care hit, (9)

 

Progress, touch hinterland prosper,

Festival night light village, whisper,

Future of Nation children educate,

Education,  health, youth adequate (10)

 

Equals cherish liberty from poverty,

True craze liberty, freedom, property,

Celebrate Diwali, sing O’ soul song,

Otherwise sing meaningless wrong, (11)

 

Let chorus-citizen take oath unite,

Defeat slavery from poverty, ignite,

Rise O soul, from darkness dense,

Quit slumber awaken spirit sense, (12)

 

Eradicate illness, illiteracy totality,

Let dismantle curse untouchability,

Establish freedom for womanhood,

Equal right for girl child land good, (13)

 

Goddess of prosperity be daughter,

Festive Diwali night n her laughter,

Cracker celebrate sky bright spark,

Daughter eye sparkle joyous stark, (14)

 

Today, a daughter next motherland,

Ageless epitome decorates garland.

Lamp-lit eyes sparkle, glints smile,

Diwali time disappear fear hostile. (15)
