मंगळ दीवो
Mangal Divo
दीवो रे दीवो प्रभु मंगलिक दीवो, आरती उतारण बहु चीरंजीवो सोहामणुं घेर पर्व दिवाळी, अंबर खेले अमराबाळी

अम घेर मंगलिक तुम घेर मंगलिक, मंगलिक चतुर्विघ संघने होजो...

Divo Re Divo Prabhu Mangalica Divo, Aarti Utari Bhau Chiran Jivo.
Sohamanu Gher Parva Divali, Amar Khele Amaara Bali.
