CALL OF THE GLACIERS
The rapidly melting glaciers call out,
O! Human, please stop your cruel attacks,
Why do you commit such atrocities on us?
How long will we endure your fatal activities?
You chose only the ambition of development,
In your greed, you never listened to our pain,
You have no qualms in going against nature,
Aren't you worried about the adverse effects?
How toxic have you made the atmosphere?
Rising temperatures have raised extreme dangers,
Don't you remorse your deeds even a little,
Why don't you stop your dangerous activities?
Can't you see the rising sea levels?
Think quickly, don't turn your heart into stone,
Climate cycle is constantly getting disturbed,
Countless disasters will come, life will be destroyed.
We are breaking apart and melting, save our icebergs,
Aquatic creatures will become extinct, you will yearn for water,
Control excessive amount of carbon dioxide emissions,
Stop harmful activities, otherwise you will invite a massive catastrophe.

HOW MUCH I ADORE YOU
How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.
I can't bring the stars and the moon for you,
But together we can see the starry night view,
Your name is printed on the walls of my heart,
Now you have become my life's precious part.
How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.
I can't show you many false rainbow dreams,
In my eye's ocean, you can see surging love streams.
Ask these winds what is hidden in my silence,
My soul yearns so much in your absence.
How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.
I can't make many spurious promises to you,
But I'll try to paint your life with golden hue.
For once, listen to my heartbeat's sweetest call,
Life without you feels like an endless downfall.
How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.
