Mangal Divo
||Divo re divo prabhu mangalic divo,
Arati utarana bahu chiranjivo; ||
Sohamano gher parav Diwali, Ambar khel amara-wali; ||
||Dipal bhane ane kula ajuwali, Bhave bhagate vighana niwari; ||
||Dipal bhane ane a kali-kale, Arati utari raja Kumarpale; Il
||Ama ghere mangalic, tuma ghere mangalic, Mangalic chaturvidha sangh ne hojo,
Divo re.... 11
Oh lord! This is the auspicious lamp, long live the performer of arati;
At Diwali celebrations, houses are decorated, Godesses rejoice in the heavens;
It (Dipal) says that the devotee who performs the arati makes the family proud and overcomes obstacles;
It (Dipal) says that in Kaliyug, King Kumarpal performed the arati;
Let there be bliss in our house, in your house and in the entire four-fold community; Oh lord! This is the auspicious lamp, long live the performer of the arati.
