I hardly see stars in the Bangalore sky...smog, as if, has robbed the sky of all its beauty. The first showers are no longer beautiful...Rainwater is damn dirty and black. For all these and more...Thanks to pollution which has certainly become more than a menace now! And adding to our woes, we have all the world leaders staging a drama at Copenhagen while the earth bleeds and cries!
Prithibir Chitkaar
Produshon chhine nilo, prithivir roop
Taai dekho Udaashin, Aaakasher mukh
Groho taara bondi Dhowashar kaaragaare
Baaka chaad eka tai, cheye aache chup.
Beesh Dhaale charidhaare, kol aar kaarkhana
Progotir pothe aaj agowan desh
Raastay gaari joto, bere chole obiroto
Amader chahidaar, keno nei sesh!
Socchhota nei aaj, gongaay, jomunaay
Bhoktir naame hoy taader aaj opomaan
Gaachpaala kete shob, sobhyota gorchi je
Ekdhare baare tai prithivir taapomaan.
Ei taapomaan niye aaj
Utheche je kolorob
Nongra raajniti
khomotaar khela sob!
Aakashe, baatashe , tai eto hahakaar
"Bachaao aamare" aaj prithivir chitkaar!

Hmmm...
Maybe should have sent a translation of this to Jairam Ramesh and his troops.
On a serious note though, this too, as always, is good. All the more commendable as you have chosen a current subject(which, admittedly, doesn't lend itself much to poetic interpretations) and woven some beautiful lines around it...
"Gaachpaala kete shob, sobhyota gorchi je" ....nice line that.

I am sorry dear:)Plainly translated the poem goes something like this.
Earth's outcry
Pollution has robbed my earth of all its splendour
So, even the sky looks sad
In the cage of smog,are caught the stars
So the moon looks lone and drab
Spitting poison are the factories around
As my country treads the path of growth
The number of vehicles,on the rise always
Ah! our want knows no end!
No purity in the waters of the holy rivers,
We insult them in the name of devotion
We cut the trees to build our civilization
And Earth's temperature rises unchecked!
Of this global warming,We hear uproar
Nothing but politics and play of power
That's why I sense the sorrow in the sky and air
And "Save me" my earh cries.
Well, no changes in settings... and thanks for the suggestions. But I am stuck in this shitty job...at least this pays ;)
