Analysis of We light beautiful diyas that dazzle the night



Festival of lights ahoy! as the darkness falls,
Soot black night vanishes when we light inspite,
Beautiful diyas that dazzle the night...
Overheard anywhere and everywhere we go,
Prayers on the street, crackers lighting up the sky in sweep seconds,
Kids, men and women gather together,there is hustle and bustle,
People passing down the street in jovial moods, in delight,
As we light beautiful diyas that dazzle the night,
'Victory of good over evil' prevails come what might,
As we light beautiful diyas that dazzle the night!
