Lakshmi

Mother of abundance, bestower of treasure
Lady of the lotus and gold coins
Bring us your blessing, for our life’s pleasure
And in reverence we will toil for our gains

Bestower of strength and spiritual truth
You show us the way with four-fold goals
Consort of Vishnu, his devotees you soothe
And reward them for their long life’s toils

Protector of family, harbinger of joy
Your plenty you offer to those who work hard
On your sacred night Diwali we all will pray
To be worth in thought, deed, and word
