Śivoham is a poem written on Supreme Lord Śiva by Rāmajogayya Śāśtri, for a film that is released recently.
Though commercial elements are one reason to avoid such content for devotion, some rare gems with good literature are found here without commotion.
And with such intent I have made a small attempt to anglicise it within my means, preserving it's rhythmic & poetic value, for those who love literature.
Also the audio is a modulated version of original with commericial content edited out. These are Telugu lyrics in purity, so other script transliterations are not provided.
Context is about the intense tapaśya of the Rāvaṇa Brahma, the great devotee of Śiva and his boon of gaining Ātmalinga, taken from Kailāsa in Himālayās back to Lanka.

అనన్య భక్తి భావమే
ఆరాధనా ప్రవాహమై
ఆకాశ గంగ తీరున
వశించె శివుని శిరసుపై॥1॥
Unwavering devotion we dwell
Ceaseless adoration do swell
As celestial Ganga we abide
Upon Śiva's crown it preside.
