Ma Ganga is an embodiment of gentleness
She is a mother who absorbs the sins of her children
Her divinity is everlasting
She has provided me safe sanctuary since time immemorial
She was as pure as pure can be
Her crystal waters were my haven
Muddied they became
And I declared myself blind for survival
I am the Ganga Dolphin
I taught myself to hunt by emitting ultrasonic sounds
Atrocities on Ma Bhagirathi continued unabated
No difference did my sacrifice make
Entanglement in fishing nets as a bycatch
Hunted for oil, as bait for catfish
As liniment, as aphrodisiac and for meat
I continue to be exploited mercilessly
Endangered now
Both My Goddess and I
Beg for compassion
Pray for mercies
Allow us to survive and serve!
