Bringer of auspiciousness, of well-being, of health and wealth —

शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तु ते॥

destroyer of the enemy that is a hostile mind — light of the diya, I bow to you.

दिव्या दिव्या दीपत्कार

O diya, O diya, bright and shining,

कानीं कुंडलें मोतीहार

earrings in your ears, a string of pearls;

दिव्याला पाहून नमस्कार

seeing the diya, I bow.

दिवा लावला देवांपाशी

The diya is lit beside the gods,

उजेड पडला तुळशीपाशीं

its light falls by the tulsi;

माझा नमस्कार सर्व देवांपाशी

my salutation to all the gods.

तिळाचे तेल कापसाची वात

Sesame oil, and a wick of cotton.

दीपज्योतिः परब्रह्म दीपज्योतिर्जनार्दनः ।

दीपो हरतु मे पापं संध्यादीप नमोऽस्तुते ॥

May the diya take away my faults. Evening diya, I bow to you.
