O Lord of auspicious beginnings, 
With your arrival, happiness arrives, 
In houses many,
Your presence lights up every corner, 
Your devotion brings all together.
Where Thy glory and greatness 
divinely sung, 
You are loved by old and young. 
The ten-day celebration, 
Fills heart and home with delight, 
Come back next year, we recite.
With a heavy heart, 
We bid farewell to you, 
Where ye, thyself teaches to detach, 
From name, fame and attachments, 
The most painful art of letting go,  
To peacefully merge with elements. 
In the end, Your divine presence 
Leave silence for the better start
O Vighnaharta, 
Help us grow to reflect often, 
To live life with smiles, compassion.
