1. The sign of vital life in Nature, green
God has chosen this lovely color
In every bush, plant, tree and bower
Wherever this vibrant hue is seen
We find flourishing growth and change
In various shades in woods and mountain range.
2. Green is the color of life and hope
Green fills our hearts with happy thrill
Green moss beckons us beside flowing rills
Green grows on plains and mountain slopes
Green represents fresh Nature pure
A healing balm, a healthy herbal cure.
3. The grassy plains, an emerald expanse bright
With multi-colored tiny blooms bedight
In curious, skillful patterns, a charming sight
From dense leaves, a flash of green parrots’ flight
Green, a universal color of life on this sphere
On other planets-- craters, volcanoes and vapor mere.
4. Creation sprouted with this magic hue
Our sustenance and breath these herbs and trees
In every clime germinates life new
Even in deserts or in dense woods with pearly dew
Life without green, an arid, wretched waste
If fanned by black furies of war and hate.
5. Whoever sees mangoes, pears and parrots' green
A ray of promise and peace reveal
The touch of Mother Earth’s bosom we feel
The shades of greenish jade in charming beads serene
Even under placid waters of the seas grow bluish green
In peacock feathers too sparkles the diamond-sheen.
6. Monster-turned man destroys everything green
Uprooting forests, parks and groves in ruthless ways
Building skyscrapers to pave his own doomsday
A concrete jungle with avarice mean
Can he re-create Nature’s beauty undone?
His greedy acts reveal his lack of vision.
7. A slender shoot amidst these rocks show
Nature’s invincible will and thrust
Nature will display her green splendor from dust
When guilty of his rapacious acts man will know
How much he is indebted to this planet green
To this life-giving liberal, generous queen.
8. Before this earth becomes a barren, lifeless sphere
Before all beings are wiped out of existence
Let man realize his unpardonable offence
Let us rejuvenate our climate pure and clear
Let us go green and put our knowledge to good use
And not Nature destroy, pollute and abuse.
9. Let every house with trees and pants be seen
Transform our vacant lands to gardens with cool shade
Let us not murder age-old trees and glades
Let us revive lakes, ponds and forests green
In Nature’s wellbeing, man’s welfare lies
Go green, with Nature let us harmonize our ties.
10. Let us make our life natural and green
No artificial wasteful vanity-show
No harmful chemicals, a simple life let us follow
No wasteful ways but hygienic and serene
Eco-friendly methods better our climate impure
Live green--go green, be your motto ensure.
