என் மேல் கரிசனம் கிடையாதா
தேவி தரிசனம் கிடைக்காதா

தேவி உன் தரிசனம் கிடைக்காதா
பொய்யில்லை கண்ணுக்குள் தீ வளர்த்தேன் ஏ.....ஏ.....
பொய்யில்லை கண்ணுக்குள் தீ வளர்த்தேன்
உன் பூஜைக்கு நெஞ்சுக்குள் பூ வளர்த்தேன்
விழிகளில் வழிகிற துளிகளில்
இவன் மனம் தினம் தினம் கரைகிற வரையிலும்
விழிகளில் வழிகிற துளிகளில்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant, emotionally charged track expresses the deep anguish of a lover seeking a glimpse ('Dharisanam') and mercy ('Karisanam') from his beloved, whom he elevates to the stature of a deity ('Devi'). He speaks of his pure, devotional love, describing how he cultivated a sacred flower within his heart for her worship while burning with grief in his eyes. The lyrics paint a picture of continuous suffering and tears as he implores her to grant him her presence and empathy before his heart completely dissolves in sorrow.
