Iyaibu (End Rhyme)

Pudhu kolam un vizhi azhagil / Enna jaalam un mozhi azhagil

The repetition of 'azhagil' at the end of adjacent lines creates a harmonious melodic rhythm.

Dhinam vidindhadhum un mugathil / Manam inithida naal muzhudhum

The second consonant sound 'na' in 'Dhinam' and 'Manam' provides Tamil rhythmic symmetry.
