[Sitar intro motif, soft strings]
[Intro: Female]
(Sitar & light synth pad)
Diwali ki raat hai, phuljhari si chamak
Aangan mein deep jalte, maa ke aashirvaad ki damak
(Dhol soft on 2 & 4)
[Verse 1: Male]
(Sitar motif continues, tabla light)
Aangan mein diye jal rahe, phoolon ki sugandh saath
Dadi ki aarti ki jhankaar, mehekti har raat
Bachon ke haathon mein phuljhari, hansee se ugta sahar
Khidki pe kandil jale, ankhon mein sapnon ka safar
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
(strings swell, rising pad)
Mehfil mein chamak hai, nigahen bujhe na kabhi
Rishtey ye jo jurein, dil se dil se labhi
(hold, build with tabla roll)
[Chorus: Male & Female - Call & Response]
(strings swell, brass lift; dhol on downbeat)
Male (call): Roshan hain dilwale
Female (response): Roshan hain dilwale
Male: Deep jale har ghar mein
Female: Deep jale har ghar mein
Male: Maa Lakshmi ke aashirvaad se
Female together: Ujala ho har safar mein
(Tag, gentle sitar lick after)
Roshan hain—dilwale
[Verse 2: Female]
(sitar arpeggio, soft strings)
Rangoli ke rang yun khilte, zulf si hawa mein behte
Phoolon ke haar se sajti, dar pe paon jab tujhe
Maa ki purn chahat mein, roshni milti bepanah
Haath mein tera haath ho, lage har gham hai fanaa
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
(building with harmonium, tabla steady)
Aankhon mein chamak hain, baton mein mithaas
Saal badle phir bhi, dil se dil ka yeh vikaas
(quick tabla fill into chorus)
[Chorus: Male & Female - Full]
(strings swell, horns bright, gentle synth shimmer)
Roshan hain dilwale, deep jale har ghar mein
Maa Lakshmi ke aashirvaad se, ujala ho har safar mein
Milan ki yeh raat hai, haathon mein haath saath hai
Roshan hain dilwale—yeh Diwali ki baat hai
[Bridge: Male + Female - Climax]
(sitar solo phrase, then tabla fills; strings lift to high sustain)
Male: Door the jo faasle, aaj sab paas aa gaye
Female: Raaton ke andheron mein, sapne chamak se jaage
Male: Aashirvaadon ki barish, ghar pe chhaaye re
Female: Har dil pe roshni, maa ki kirpa saaye
(hold on high harmony; sitar flourish)
[Chorus: Male & Female - Final, with ornamentation]
(full orchestra, dhol & tabla driving rhythm)
Roshan hain dilwale, deep jale har ghar mein
Maa Lakshmi ke aashirvaad se, ujala ho har safar mein
Roshan hain dilwale, milan mein roshni saje
Sabke chehron pe muskaan, iss Diwali ke pehchaan se
[Outro: Male & Female]
(strings gentle, sitar echo; soft tabla brush)
Diye jalayein hum sab milkar, pyar ki roshni failaayein
Ghar-ghar mein khushiyan bolen, maa ke charanon ko sajayein
(Final couplet - memorable tag, brief vocal flourish)
Roshan hain dilwale—roshtan rahe har pal tumhara
Roshan hain dilwale—jeevan mein sada ho oonchaa tara
(vocal flourishes: Female ascending sa-re-ga, Male harmony echo)
[End: Sitar coda, soft bell chime]
