- A touch of cold, a dash of fever
- I have fallen sick on Diwali day
- To celebrate today I was so eager
- But go out and have fun I see no way
- The nose is blocked, the joints aching
- My body feels so chill
- Got wet in rain, so it is my making
- It got me in bed against my will
- I found it hard to go for a drive
- Rain was pelting down so hard
- A drive I took, I had to strive
- Though to leave home, I was barred
- Cracker burst all around me
- Fireworks ligtsup the sky
- From the balcony, I am content to see
- To go down I did not try.
- Hunger last taste buds dry
- I still was forced to eat
- To stuff the food I did weakly try
- It was no easy feat
- Now I lie rolled up in bed
- A tablet with, protest, I took
- Just look at you, my mother said
- How sick your face does look.
- So now it is time for me to sleep
- Hope my fever sets with the moon
- Let me enter into a slumber deep
- I want to get well soon.
