The festival of colours tells its own beautiful story,
It bespeaks a tradition most hoary!
It is a token of happy times,
With a festive mood it perfectly rhymes!
The sinister darkness of ill-will should it dispel,
Towards heartfelt amity and fellow-feeling should it us propel!
Let us hope it impels us to fill others’ lives with colours of love too,
As there can be no better thing than this for us to do!
Let us pray that this vibrant festival strengthens the bonds of goodwill,
And our lives with mutual love and affection does fill!
Hope and pray that Lord Krishna and the gopis bless us to our lost humanity find
And our lives to the better and more amiable days of yore rewind!
Let us rediscover this Holi its lost essence,
And bless each other’s lives with our fragrant presence!
