jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jaise taro ki hay jaise taro ki ghar mein barat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi

jaise phul ke ho jaise phulo ke chehro me rang aa gaya
ha ha rang aa gaya ha ha rang aa gaya
o ho rang aa gaya o ho rang aa gaya
jaise kaliyo ko jaise kaliyo ko hasne ka dhang aa gaya
ho ho dhang aa gaya ho ho dhang aa gaya
ho ho dhang aa gaya
jaise dulhan nashihat se sharma gayi
jaise dulhan nashihat se sharma gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jaise taro ki hay jaise taro ki ghar mein barat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi

dekho mana ke dharti pe sun ke khabar
ha ha sun ke khabar o ho sun ke khabar
deep mala ki dharti pe sunkar khabar
chand nikla nahi aaj aakash par
deep mala ki dharti pe sunkar khabar
chand nikla nahi aaj aakash par
aaj dharti bhi aakash par cha gayi
cha gayi cha gayi cha gayi
aaj dharti bhi aakash par cha gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi
jaise taro ki hay jaise taro ki ghar mein barat aa gayi
jagmagati o jagmagati diwali ki rat aa gayi

Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night descends,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night attends,
Like stars, oh, like stars, a wedding procession bends,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night transcends.

As if hues of bloom, as if hues of bloom, paint faces bright,
Yes, yes, colors arrive, yes, yes, colors ignite,
Oh, oh, colors arrive, oh, oh, colors take flight,
As if buds, oh, as if buds, find laughter's light,
Oh, oh, the way to laugh, oh, oh, the way to right,
Oh, oh, the way to laugh.
As a bride, from truth, feels shy in the night,
As a bride, from truth, feels shy in the night,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night takes hold,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night unfolds,
Like stars, oh, like stars, a wedding story's told,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night is bold.

Behold, though earth receives the message heard,
Yes, yes, message heard, oh, oh, message stirred,
Of the lamp-chain, earth the news has blurred,
The moon hasn't risen in the sky, unheard,
Of the lamp-chain, earth the news has stirred,
The moon hasn't risen in the sky, unheard,
Today, the earth itself the sky has stirred,
has filled, has filled, has filled.
Today, the earth itself the sky has stirred,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night is free,
Glittering, oh, glittering, the Diwali night for me,
Like stars, oh, like stars, a house of glee,
Glittering, oh, glittering, Diwali's decree.
Night has come, night has come, yes, yes, night has come, oh, oh, night has come.
