Your glances alone are my divine boons
உன்னை நினைத்தால் உறக்கம் இல்லை
எந்த இரவுக்கும் என்மேல் இரக்கமில்லை
தவறியும் விழிகள் துஞ்சவில்லை
என் வசந்தங்கள் என்னை கொஞ்சவில்லை
பனியில் நனைந்தும் நெஞ்சில் ஈரமில்லை
கொடியில் புலம்பும் ஒரு காதல் முல்லை
There is no sleep when I think of you
No night shows any mercy toward me
Even by mistake, my eyes do not shut in sleep
My spring seasons do not caress me anymore
Though drenched in dew, there is no warmth in my heart
A love jasmine vine weeping upon its creeper

அலையில் குமிழி அலைகின்றதே
அது தரையில் வந்து கலைகின்றதே
கண்ணில் காதல் தெளிகின்றதே
காமன் கணைகள் நெஞ்சை உழுகின்றதே
இவளின் கனவில் ஒரு பூ வந்தது
இரவின் மடியில் அது தேன் சிந்துதே
A bubble wanders upon the wave
It comes to the shore and dissolves away
Love becomes clear and vibrant in the eyes
Cupid's arrows stir and shake the heart
A flower bloomed in her dream
It spills honey into the lap of the night

உன் பார்வைகளே என் வரங்கள்
