The poet, Lekhnath Poudel has written beautiful poem about festivals like Dashain and Tihar. Poudel’s poem about Dashain was posted previously (watch Dashain poem video here). Before reading the poem, you might want to read about the festival and what are the five days of Tihar in this post.
Original poem:
To make it easy to read – roman transliteration of the poem:
Sukhamaya pÄrÄ« saba sansÄra
ÄyÅ rasilÅ cÄá¸a tihÄra.
Bandacha mÄnÅ«mÌ sabakÅ kÄma
khuśī chan rÄjÄ raitÄ« tamÄma.
Anna cha sabakÄ gharaghara pÅ«rṇa
chaina kasaikÅ pÄ“á¹a apÅ«rṇa.
KÄga ra á¸uluvÄ kuttÄsam’ma
bhÄta nahÄ“rnÄ“ yÅ cha acam’ma.
Ghara-ghara sabakÄ bhÄmÌtÄ«-bhÄmÌtÄ«
jhakamaka baldachana dÄ«paka-tÄmÌtÄ«.
JhilÄ«milÄ« jhilÄ«milÄ« vÄri-pÄri

Like the Dashain poem, I want to translate Tihar poem into English but, it is not that easy. Can somebody help on translating it in the comment box. I have tried the first few lines but, it doesn’t seem right.

Bringing happiness in the world
The juicy festival Tihar has arrived
As if everything is going to be ok
Everybody including king and the public
