Compares floating weightlessly in love to a feather ('Or iragena midhakkiren') and compares love's transformation to that of a child and a mother ('Sei pola', 'Thaai pola').

Directly identifies the beloved as a divine blessing or boon ('Varam neeyae') and compares tears of love to priceless diamonds.

Trivia
The word 'Klesa' originates from Sanskrit (meaning affliction or distress), which lyricist Mohan Rajan creatively repurposed to mean a deep, overwhelming, and painfully intense form of love. The film Dada marked the debut of music composer Jen Martin, whose soulful acoustic arrangements received widespread acclaim upon release.
