Shiva Stotram Poem by umaprosad das

Om, Namo Shivaya, Om Namo Shivaya,
Om Namo Shivaya, namo namah
'Tava tattvam na janami kidroso'si maheshvara,
Yadraso'si mahadeva tadrsaya namo namah

O God, Lord Shiva, I know not
The truth of your nature, who you are
But see your great creation, full of beauty
Full of vastness and wonder
Amongst the living beings, in this universe
I am a little one of your vast creation
I offer to your Great True Nature,
Innumerable heartiest salutation
This land and sky, the rotating atmosphere
So beautiful your great creation with water, air
Trees and plants, corns, fruits and flowers
The great Nature, nurturing us with mother-care

'Atitah panthanam tava cha mahima vanamanasayoh'

Our knowledge and vision are so limited
That your greatness is beyond the reach
To understand, perceive or to describe
By our senses, mind and speech
You are so kind enough to provide
All the requirements of livelihood
To your beloved creatures with
Air, water, suitable atmosphere and food

'ajanmano loka kimavaya vavanto'pi jagatam
adhistha taram kim bhava vidhir anadritya bhavati'

Lord Shiva exists, Lord Shiva exists
Who else but can initiate such a great creation
This has never been possible without a creator
And He is also the Authority for destruction

Tasmai Nakaaraaya Namah Shivaaya
Tasmai Makaaraaya Namah Shivaaya
Tasmai Shikaaraaya Namah Shivaaya
Tasmai Vakaaraaya Namah Shivaaya
Tasmai Yakaaraaya Namah Shivaaya'

Salutations to Great Shivaya Who is Eternal
Who is ever Pure, Divine and shining one
Who is Trilochana (Three eyed) having
As his three eyes, the Agni, Moon and Sun
