Tonight, the stars will be bewildered by the celebrations
Of change that we all seek passionately; drown the voices with noise
Some of the events would be arranged, some forgotten
Others scattered here and there, but the precious ones settled deep
As the darkness is lit up by smiles, prayers, and lights
There are those ripples of memories slowly playing with the mind
For now, the time has arrived, to say, “Goodbye”
As with little trepidations, the crowd urges to join the jubilation
All that the heart may have been tired of can now be forgotten
That invisible cord linking the new times is not important
For, now is not the time to iron out the past creases
If one believes in the birth of beginning from this tapering end
Let’s wish in harmony for everyone and a brilliant dawn
