In the lap of lush green Himalayas
Lost in the zephyr of nature’s sagas
The souls were deep absorbed in a world of dreams
Suddenly It awakened them with a horrid scream
Faces questioned each other in a hope of gleam
Amidst the dilemma,lives started to shatter
Tremors shook their world and began to scatter
The wails of people in a seamless measure
The castle of hopes took a second to splitter
That which was formed to create a better future.
Tremors shook and tore them apart
Cries, sobs, wails piercing the heart
Calling us incessantly for a humane gesture
Join the hands to reignite the lives
For this is the clarion call of mother nature
