இது நியாயமா இது நியாயமா
Is this fair? Is this fair?
இது நியாயமா இது நியாயமா
எனை மறந்து போகலாமா
சரியாகுமா முறையாகுமா
எனை வருந்த செய்யலாகுமா
Is this fair? Is this fair?
Can you forget me and go away?
Is it right? Is it proper?
Can you cause me such distress?
வான் மழை நீங்கிய
பூங்கொடி போல்
மனமே ஏங்கி வாடுதே
Like a flowering vine
Deprived of sky rain,
My heart yearns and wilts.

Deprived of sky rain,
My heart yearns and wilts.
தேன் மொழி பேசிடும்
அன்புப் பார்வையது
எங்கே என்றே தேடுதே
எண்ணம் உன்னை நாடுதே
The sweet honey-like words,
That affectionate glance,
It searches, asking where it went.
My thoughts seek only you.

Is it right? Is it proper?
Can you cause me such distress?
சோலையைச் சூழ்ந்திடும் சூறையைப்போலே
பிரிவும் என்னை வாட்டுதே உன் போல்
சுந்தர ரூபம் என் கண்ணில் தோன்றி
என்னை பாராய் என்றே அழைக்குதே
Encircling the garden
Like a stormy wind,
Separation too torments me.
Your handsome form appears before my eyes,
Imploring 'look at me' and destroying my peace.
பாசம் என்னை இழுக்குதே
நேராய் இங்கே இழுக்குதே
Affection pulls me near,
While time drags on here.
இது நியாயமா இது நியாயமா
எனை மறந்து போகலாமா
இனிமையும் தனிமையில் கிடைக்குமா
இன்பம் நேருமா........
Is this fair? Is this fair?
Can you forget me and go away?
