The hostel diya is a candle in a cup, The rangoli is a sticker, the sweets are a pickup From a shop that does not know my name, But I lit it anyway, and it felt almost the same.

Maa sent a video, the lamps on the stairs, Papa in the corner, the same old chairs. I watched it four times on a foreign floor, Then lit my own lamp, and cried some more.

Diwali in a city where nobody knows the day, I wore the kurta anyway, walked the long way. A stranger in a shop said happy Diwali, bhai, And I held the door, and could not say why.

Sweets in the box, light in the eyes, May this Diwali keep no goodbyes.

This Diwali, burn the grudge, not just the fuse, Light a lamp for the ones you nearly lose.

One lamp, one prayer, one home, Happy Diwali wherever you roam.
