aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re
aao milke gaao aaj badhai re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re

roop nagar se chanda aaya
ban praano ka pyasa
ghar ghar jab deep jalte hai
chhaya hai ujiyara
lo chhaya hai ujiyara
ha raat ki raani raat ki raani
ban than ke taaro se gajare layi re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re
aao milke gaao aaj badhai re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re

dholak baje dam dam
payliya baje chham chham
baje manjire jhan jhana jhan
ghunghru baje chhun chhun
aaj nagar mein dhum machi hai
aaj nagar mein dhum machi hai
dware baaji shahanai re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re
aao milke gaao aaj badhai re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re

mera lalana chhod ke palna
sabki badhai lega
pairo mein pahanke paijniya
ye thumk thumk khelega
ye thumk thumk khelega
mere jivan ke aangan mein
aaj deewali aayi re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re
aao milke gaao aaj badhai re
aayi aayi re suhani ghadi aayi re
lubhani ghadi aayi re

The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!
Come, let us sing praises together,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!

From the city of form, the moon descended,
Became the beloved of souls,
When lamps ignite in every home,
A radiant light unfurls.
Behold, a radiant light unfurls!
Yes, the queen of night, the queen of night,
Adorned, she brings garlands from the stars,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!
Come, let us sing praises together,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!

Drums resound, *dum dum*,
Anklets chime, *chham chham*,
Cymbals clash, *jhan jhana jhan*,
Bells sing, *chhun chhun*,
A joyous uproar fills the city,
A joyous uproar fills the city,
The wedding horn proclaims,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!
Come, let us sing praises together,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!

My darling child, leaving the cradle,
Will accept the blessings of all,
Wearing anklets on his feet,
He will dance and play with delight,
He will dance and play with delight.
In the courtyard of my life,
Today, Diwali has arrived,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!
Come, let us sing praises together,
The blessed moment, it has come, it has!
The tempting hour, it has begun!
