விண்ணோடு மின்னாத விண்மீன் எது
அது அது உன் புன்னகை
ஒற்றை பூ பூக்கின்ற தேசம் எது
அது அது உன் பாதுகை
Which star does not shine in the sky?
That, that is your smile.
Which is the land where a single flower blooms?
That, that is your footwear.
துடிக்கும் எரிமலை எது
அது என் நெஞ்சம் தானடி
Which is the throbbing volcano?
That is my heart, my dear.
இனிக்கிற தீ எது
அது உந்தன் தீண்டலே
சுடுகிற பொய் எது
அது உந்தன் நாணமே அன்பே
Which is the sweet fire?
That is your touch.
Which is the burning lie?
That is your shyness, my love.
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே கரைந்த நிலவு
எனது இரவை திருடுதோ
உயிரினை வருடுதோ
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே நுழைந்த கனவு
உனது வதனம் வரைந்ததோ
இருதயம் நிறைந்ததோ
Which is the thread visible to a needle's eye?
Woman, that is your waist.
Which thing finds bliss without anyone killing it?
That is the dress you wear.
கர்நாடிக் :

Which is the intoxicating trance?
That which you are going to say next.
Even after shedding clothes,
What wears light?
That is the moon.
ஊசி கண் காணா நூலும் எது
பெண்ணே உன் இடை அது
யாரும் கொள்ளா இன்பம் கொண்டது ஏது
நீ சூடும் ஆடை அது
மயக்கிடும் போதையோ எது
அடுத்து நீ சொல்ல போவது
ஆடைகளை களைந்த பிறகும் ஒளியை அணிவது
நிலா அது
Which is the war without anger?
That which happens on the bed.
Which song conquers silence?
That is the sound of a kiss.
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே கரைந்த நிலவு
எனது இரவை திருடுதோ
உயிரினை வருடுதோ
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே நுழைந்த கனவு
உனது வதனம் வரைந்ததோ
இருதயம் நிறைந்ததோ
Which is the unanswered question?
That which you are going to ask next.
When two shadows come close,
What is the thing that shatters?
Hmm mm hmm mm
கர்நாடிக் :
.......................
கோபங்கள் இல்லா யுத்தம் எது
மெத்தையில் நிகழுவது
மௌனம் அதை வெல்லும் ஓர் பாடல் எது
முத்தத்தின் ஒலி அது
பதில் இல்லா கேள்வியும் எது
அடுத்து நீ கேட்க போவது
இரு நிழல் நெருங்கும் பொழுது நொறுங்கும் பொருள் எது
ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
கண்ணுக்குள்ளே கரைந்த நிலவு
எனது இரவை திருடுதோ
