  1. (Poetic) तुमरा द्वार मा जळदु हर दिवु मन का हर कूणा तैं उज्यळु कर द्यो, अगास मा फुटदि हर फुलझड़ि तुमरा सुपन्यूं तैं गैणौं तक पौंछौ, अर आखिरी दिवु बुझण का बाद भि घौर की खुसी कु उज्यळु कभि मद्धम नि ह्वा : बग्वाळ की भौत-भौत बधै! May every lamp at your door light up every corner of your heart, may every sparkler carry your dreams to the stars, and may the light of joy in your home never dim even after the last lamp goes out : many Bagwal greetings!

  2. (Bhailo) छिल्लों कू भैलो जळैकि गौं का चौक मा घुमौण वळी हमारी पुरणि रीत जनि तुमरा जीवन कु हर अंधेरु भि भैलो की आग मा जळि जौ, अर इगास-बग्वाळ तक तुमरा घौर मा उज्यळु ही उज्यळु रौ। Just as we follow our old custom of lighting the bhailo of pine splinters and swinging it in the village square, may every darkness in your life burn in the bhailo's fire, and may your home be filled with light right through to Igas-Bagwal.

  3. (Letter) प्यारा दगड़्या, ये बार त्यारा गौं ऐकि भैलो नि खेलि सकु, इलै ये संदेसा का दगड़ भेजणु छौं एक माटा कु दिवु, थोड़ा अरसा कि मिठास अर भौत सारी माया : अपणि खिड़की मा धैरि दे, हम एकी उज्यळा मा छौं। Dear friend, I couldn't come to your village to play bhailo this time, so I'm sending a clay lamp, a little arsa sweetness and lots of love : keep it in your window; we're in the same light.

  4. (Nostalgic) याद च, बचपन मा भैजी का दगड़ छिल्ला बटोळण जांदा था, ब्वे का बणयां स्वाळा-पकोड़ा चोरी खांदा था अर रात भर भैलो का गीत गांदा था? वी भोळी खुसी ये बग्वाळ फिर तुमरा घौर ऐ जौ। Remember gathering pine splinters with big brother as kids, sneaking the swala and pakoras mother made and singing bhailo songs all night? May that same innocent joy return to your home this Bagwal.

  5. (Spiritual) लक्ष्मी माँ तुमरा घौर धन-धान्य बरखौ, गणेश जी हर बिघ्न हरो, अर नंदा देवी की किरपा साल भर तुमरा परिवार पर बणीं रौ। May Lakshmi Maa shower wealth on your home, may Ganesh ji remove every obstacle, and may Nanda Devi's grace stay on your family all year.

  6. (Come home) दिल्ली-देहरादून मा नौकरी करदा सब्बि भै-बैण्यूं तैं : ये बग्वाळ गौं ऐ जावा, बूढ़ा ब्वे-बाबू का दगड़ दिवा जळावा, खाली होंदा पहाड़ फिर बसि जाला। To all brothers and sisters working in Delhi and Dehradun : come back to the village this Bagwal and light lamps with your elderly parents; the emptying hills will fill with life again.

  7. (Eco-friendly) ये बार माटा का दिवा जळावा, पटाखा कम अर हंसी जादा रखा, डांडी-कांठ्यूं की हवा साफ रखा : तबि देवभूमि भि बोलली कि य बग्वाळ सच्ची शुभ छै। This time light clay lamps, keep crackers few and laughter plenty, keep the mountain air clean : then Devbhoomi itself will say this Bagwal was truly auspicious.

  8. (For soldiers) गढ़वाल राइफल्स का सब्बि जवानूं तैं सलाम : तुम सरहद पर जगदा छां, तबि हम घौर मा चैन से दिवा जळौंदा। A salute to every soldier of the Garhwal Rifles : because you stay awake on the border, we light our lamps at home in peace.
