Diwali Poems

Weaving a Special Charm with Diwali Poems

Diwali is a time to bring out the best in everyone. The charm of Diwali is that it has the ability to allow everyone a chance at what they are best at. The generous giver resurfaces with benevolent gifts also known as Diwali Gifts, the hidden artist whips out magic with exquisite rangolis and torans, and the poet finds a new spirit with poems and innovative SMS messages that spread the Diwali cheer.

Diwali poems have been a persisting feature for many years. They are an expression of the excitement, reverence and awe of the festival, with an inspiration that is sure to touch everyone. Diwali poems have been enjoyed and written over the years, although traditionally in Hindi. Today it is also common to find some simple English poems on Diwali which can reach out to many more. Here are simple, yet touching Diwali poems.

Certain objects are mandatory features on a puja thali. These include vermillion or kumkum, some uncooked rice, a betel leaf and nut, a diya or two and a silver coin. The puja thali can be as simple or as elaborate and extravagant as you would like it to be. They are readily available in the market in varieties of shapes and patterns, though most women revel in the joy of making it themselves. Here are some suggestions on how you can make your puja thali a work of art.
 

Diwali Magic
 

The lights are bright, the colours explode
Feel the magic of Diwali unfold;
A time to spare moment of thought
For the Gods whose gifts we all have sought.

This is the season to love and be loved,
A time when all are one;
Spread the word, there is love for all
There is a God, we are his sons.

Wear your finery, dress your best,
Diwali is a time for bliss;
With a prayer on your lips and love in your heart
This is a day you just can’t miss!


 

Diwali ke Rang

Ye tyohar hai Bharat ka
Jise kehte hum Diwali hain;
Phodte pataake khushi mein hum
Bachche karte manmaani hain.

Uncle aunty mithai le aaye
Hum gaye bazaar kapde laaye;
Hui puja Lamxi aayi,
Sabke mann mein khushi chaayi.

Puri galli hamaari jagmagaayi
Diwali ki ladi khoob rang laayi;
Diya rangoli mombatti ke sang
Hum gaye is tyohaar mein rang.
 

What is Diwali?

Rama came to earth as an answer to man,
To save the world from sin;
To help man realise his own true nature
And to love his kith and kin.

He suffered long years in the wild,
He gave up his rightful throne;
He lived a life of solitude
For Sita he did mourn.

Vanquishing the evil Ravana
Rama then returned home;
To a land that was rightfully his,
To the people who were his own.

On this day Ayodhya came to life,
The people were filled with delight;
For the one who was meant to be their king
Was coming back to claim his right.

The roads were lit with merry lights,
Joy and happiness had returned;
Rama and Sita were greeted with open arms
Their homecoming was widely cheered.

To this day we celebrate, as
The victory of good has come to show;
A day we know as Diwali
Will be celebrated evermore.
 

My Special Diwali

Diwali is finally here,
A time for fun, laughter and cheer,
We have waited long and hard,
And the day is finally near.

We start with the ceremonious bath
And then we all do gather;
For clothes and gifts, sweets and crackers
We receive from our father.

The evening is a time for prayer,
 We ask for several gifts;
We have to thank for countless blessings
We know we cannot miss.
 

Sachchi Diwali

Diwali ke din hum diye jalaaye
Khusihyon ki bhandaar ghar laaye;
Ghar parivaar aur doston ke sang
Baante Diwali ke hare ek rang.

Magar wo bhi hain jo Diwali
Chaahkar bhi na manaa sake,
Unko bhi ek mauka to do
Taaki unhe bhi ek avsar mile.

Iss Diwali apne mithaai aur bhent
Dosto ko hi na baante,
Unki bhi madat karo jo
Diwali ki mithaas na jaan paate.
 

The poems may be simple, but they are effective ways to simply teach everyone the magnanimity of this wonderful festival. Diwali is well beyond any justification that can be done to it, and there can never be any expression that can do it justice. It can only be experienced to be understood.
