Diwali

Vishal Mishra's song 'Diwali' is a beautiful metaphorical representation of love, likening it to the vibrant and joyous festival of Diwali. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how love can transform one's life, much like how Diwali lights up the darkness with its myriad of lamps and fireworks. The song begins by expressing the significance of a loved one, stating that their love is as essential as a festival, making life meaningful and joyous. Without this love, life feels difficult and the story of life seems pointless.

The chorus of the song emphasizes how the presence of the beloved illuminates the world, comparing them to countless lamps that light up the surroundings. The evenings are described as colorful like rangoli, and the nights are starry, symbolizing the beauty and magic that love brings into life. The comparison of love to Diwali continues with the mention of conversations being as sweet as flowers and the heart being painted red with love, indicating the deep emotional impact of this relationship.

As the song progresses, it delves into the transformative power of love. The protagonist describes how their life was lonely and dull before the arrival of their beloved, but now every moment is filled with joy and celebration. The metaphor of Diwali is used to highlight the festive and celebratory nature of love, with the repeated lines 'जश्न में डूबे हैं' (we are immersed in celebration) reinforcing this idea. The song concludes by reiterating that the arrival of the beloved has brought about a Diwali-like transformation in the protagonist's life, making it a celebration of love and happiness.
