Happy Nepal Sambat

New Year to everyone,

Let us celebrate our national holiday

Nepal Sambat new year

Keeping our Newah values

And Newah traditions in mind


Newahs in Nepal 

And Newahs living across the world

Celebrate the Happy New Year

Nepal Sambat with great enthusiasm and joy


Nepal Sambat is a great Sambat

 Nepal Sambat is peoples' Sambat

Nepal Sambat is a great Sambat

It is full of Newah festivals

And cultural events


Nepal Sambat is a remarkable Sambat

Not named after any king or queen

Not after any ruler

Not after any conquerer

Not after any religion


Nepal Sambat is a glorious Sambat

 It is the only Sambat in the world

 Named after a country -

A glorious country  Nepal Mandala


Nepal Sambat is a great Sambat founded 

Not by a ruler or a king.

 It was established by

Sankhadhar Sakhwa

An ordinary trader

Who also freed the debts 

Of the poor people of Nepal Mandala.
