The hangings have bellied out with the winds
Trying to be mischievous in this weather,
The nights have become longer and darker
In the wait of dawn,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings
To celebrate the arrival of the Lord,
I can smell the fragrance of Indian sweets
Kept to please the cravings of taste,
The flower petals and candles have charmed
The streets of the city,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings
To celebrate the arrival of winters,
The sun had already set due to the breeze
Looking for some ease,
He said, he could read omens around him;
Bury the worries about tomorrow
To enlighten the bright and transparent present.
The hangings have bellied out with the winds
Trying to be mischievous in this weather,
Fog has arrived with smog in it
To prove the destruction of nature,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings
To offer a prayer for the well being of people,
It’s time for some uniformity
The flower petals, candles and lights are still charming
The streets of the city,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings
To find some purification in solace,
To celebrate the arrival of the Lord
In this winter season,
He is endowed with some divine inkling
Glaring at the sky, admiring the city of lights
He asked me once again to light up the surroundings.
The hangings have bellied out with the winds
Trying to be mischievous in this weather,
It’s turning colder day-by-day
Wanting to be draped with a warm and cozy
Heavy velvet,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings
To showcase the admiration for the Lord,
It’s turning cold in the season of festivals
Let’s light the candle of hope and love
To create a positive aura all around,
He asked me to fix and light up the surroundings!
