mele hain chiraago ke rangin diwali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai
mele hain chiraago ke rangin diwali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai

iss raat koyi dekhe dharati ke najaaro ko
sharmaate hain yeh dipak aakaash ke taaron ko
sharmaate hain yeh dipak aakaash ke taaron ko
iss raat kaa kya kahana iss raat kaa kya kahana
yeh raat niraali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai
mele hain chiraago ke rangin diwali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai

kha jaaye najar dhokha juganu hain ya phulajhadiya
barat hai taaron ki ya rang bhari ladiya
barat hai taaron ki ya rang bhari ladiya
honthon pe taraane hain honthon pe taraane hain
bajati huyi taali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai
mele hain chiraago ke rangin diwali hai
mahaka hua gulshan hai hansata huwa maali hai

A carnival of lamps, a Diwali bright,
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.
A carnival of lamps, a Diwali bright,
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.

Tonight, behold the earth's own gaze,
These lamps blush the stars in a starlit maze.
These lamps blush the stars in a starlit maze.
What of this night, oh, what can one say?
This night is a fantasy, a story.
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.
A carnival of lamps, a Diwali bright,
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.

Deceiving the eye, are they fireflies, or sparks?
A procession of stars, or strings of bright arcs?
A procession of stars, or strings of bright arcs?
On every lip, a song takes flight,
and the clapping hands are full of glee.
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.
A carnival of lamps, a Diwali bright,
A fragrant garden, the gardener's delight.
