Gigantic waves Of yours Jumped over The city wall In the twinkling Of an eye and Rushed back taking Loads of ours Making the City A place of mourn And anguish
Still offspring Mourn for parents Parents mourn For children Some are benumbed Over you,
Kovils and temples, Wherein the guardians Of ours exist Remain Unharmed Yet ours are no more For the rest in peace Sea, Still you remain Calmly though You’re the force Behind the Devastation Sea, how Could you be so? In presence of Azure sky and The shining sun, You took away The ones who Loved you most You took away The ones who Cared and nurtured You most
Sea, How cruel You are? How destructive You are? How unfeeling You are?
Sea, What’ve we Done wrong To be annihilated This way Giving more Tribulations To generations To come?
Sea, Nobody Admires your Elegance, majesty As they did before Though they want To do so For you’ve Taken away Our contentment, Aspirations and all
Sea, You are no more The preserver or Guardian of Ours Yet the Destroyer, killer, Devastator, And all
