This journey has started from darkness to light;

May this Diwali bring a new dimension to everyone's life.

Let the glooms be removed from this overcast mind today,

Let the mind be filled with joy, let the melody play in this soul—

Let the lamp in the heart burn, and let the temple of the mind be festooned with lights.

Let's erase the dirt accumulated in the corners of this mind.

Get rid of the never-ending issues in the mind that are entangled in every topic and the deep wound in the heart that is filled with a thousand irritants!

On this Diwali we pray together for the evil forces to be destroyed on this auspicious night.

Embrace Diwali with all of your heart!

Let the light of harmony shine in our hearts this Diwali;

Ignore all the negativity, melancholy, and fear from your head.

Turn on your inner light; turn off all the griefs.

Pride and hatred should melt under the flame of the wax,

Let the accumulated anger, injustice, outrage be destroyed from cell to cell.

Blow away all the swords of the sixteen swords like lanterns—

Abandon inhumanity and vandalism.

Come, let's all have a happy Diwali today!

On such a joyous occasion, may all loved ones return home, and may all preparations be made with them.

This magnificent world will be bathed in an abundance of light throughout this enormous festivity!

Let all the light fall on our faces,

May the power be combined with the light.
