Enraged nature has shown human a glitter
On hill like partial annihilation came disaster
High buildings fell down like kids’playthings
Stuffy buses-cars floated like empty baskets
No sign of bridge-roads left over on earth
Under stone countless proud cubit buried
Overtaking mind upto moon-mar was in vain
The old age lost his strong succour
Before eyes flown somebody’s dear
Vermilion of many floated in afloat river
Flood separated those who withheld own
Without wristband will remain empty wrists
Roads-mansions built, scrapped body of hills
Trees cut, destroyed thus greenish shadow
Went on pilgrimage, its sense we didn’t feel
Tourism sense inhered, behaving wilfully
In rivers we set afloat virous impurity
Influenced much with materialistic thinking
Perceiving material wealth we are exploiting
Entire system of nature’s balance was spoiled
Showing glimpse of loss the Shiva us warned
Think, this fact we even now never realised
Even now let’s aware, accept nature as mother
Let’s even now realise our duties to mother
Let’s work with which nature may never suffer
And in future may not repeat such a disaster.
