Colorful as we are, we keep changing our colors constantly.
Instead of immersing ourselves in a single true shade, we chase after a multitude of colors;
Even if we end up remaining completely untouched and blank inside,
We still desperately run to be stained by every passing hue.
Leaving behind the company of the color we love, we try to blend with everyone,
And in doing so, we only end up utterly confused and lost.
Though we are symbols of pure white light, we keep indulging in the darkness.
Wandering in the east by morning, we drift to the west by evening.
We have no fixed destination of our own, yet we keep giving directions to others!
We, who willingly burn ourselves in the fires of Holi,
Completely forget how to become a steady, illuminating lamp of Diwali.
