Wake up at dawn to welcome Sun

Wake up at dawn to welcome Sun
Ready for a day full of fun
Oil bath, children hath
Adorn oneself with new cloth
Light a lamp and thank God
Have prasad and venture out with parents nod
Meet up friends from across the road
Pataka Dhamaka, comes out of hoard
Sumptuous lunch
Evening full of munch
Sweets, greets, treats, tweets galore
Dusk of beauty
Get ready for the evening duty
Bring out the colourful bursters that light up the sky
Until parents says stop and you ask why
Wash and freshen
Wish and listen
Pray in thanks for the light of joy
Peace and happiness for all, ahoy!
Sleep well with stars in dreams
Wake up to another day, to make all of it come true...
