Across the moon's silver eye.
I will light my lamp for you Lakshmi,
Drive away the darkness.
Welcome you into my home Lakshmi,
Beckon you from every window,
With light that blazes,
Out like flames,
Across the sombre sky.
Certain houses,
Crouch in shadow, do not hear,
Your gentle voice.
Will not feel,
Your gentle heartbeat,
Bring prosperity and fortune.
Darkness hunts them,
Like a leopard in the mountains,
Stalking prey.
