In The Colour of Holi

The folk tunes are doing the rounds

And the hamlets resounding with

It's Holi, it's Holi

The tunes may not be so lucid,

But all old and new folks

Seated near the temple

And in the courtyard

Are having parleys

With song, joy, festivity and colour

And the strange motley of

Sprinkling coloured water,

Smearing with coloured powder

To celebrate Festival of Spring.
