आ ली, आ ली, आ ली, आ ली, आज दिवाली आ ली। Aa lee, aa lee, aa lee, aa lee, Aaj diwaalee aa lee. My dear friend, today Diwali has come, and my body and mind have been lit up.
आए मन भावन बदरा आए आए मन भावन बदरा आए॥ Aa-ay man bhaavan badaraa aa-ay Aa-ay man bhaavan badaraa aa-ay. Today the clouds, most pleasing to the mind, have appeared in the sky with great pomp and show.
आए, हरि तुम आए आए, बिन तिथि के तुम आए Aa-ay, Hari tum aa-ay Aa-ay, bin tithi kay tum aa-ay O Lord, You came without giving me any date. That is why at my place, people call You a guest, or atithi.
आई धरा पर उतर चाँदनी पूनम के घर द्वार से ॥ Aa-ee dharaa par utar chaandanee Poonam kay ghar dwaar say. On this moonlit night, the chandani, or moonlight, came down on earth from the door or home of poornima, the full moon.
आई कितनी बार तुम्हारे दर पर, आई कितनी बार। आई कितनी बार तुम्हारे दर पर, प्रभु जी, आई कितनी बार॥ Aa-ee kitanee baar tumhaaray dar par, Aa-ee kitanaee baar. Aa-ee kitanee baar tumhaaray dar par, prabhu jee, Aa-ee kitanee baar. How many times have I reached your door, O Lord?
आई यह सुखद पूर्णिमा आई। मेरी बगिया में खिल कर यह Aa-ee yehe sukhad poornimaa aa-ee. Mayree bagiyaa mayn khil kar yehe Today the full moon appeared with its light. This giver of happiness and light, the full moon, has come.
आओ श्याम जभी जी चाहे आओ॥ तुम स्वतंत्र हो अपने मन के Aa-o Shyam jabhee jee chaahay aa-o. Tum swatantr ho apanay man kay Shyam, come to my place whenever you like.
आदर्श नया निर्मित कर के तुम भावी पीढ़ी मुखरित करना प्यारे॥ Aadarsh nayaa nirmit kar kay tum Bhaavee peerdhee mukharit karanaa pyaaray. Please establish yourself as an ideal, to offer the knowledge which will make the new generation happy.
