மரங்கள் தரும் மலர்கள்
அதன் நிறங்கள் அதை அறியோம்
மலைகள் கடல் அலைகள்
எந்த நிறங்கள் அதை அறியோம்
The flowers given by trees,
We do not know their colors.
The mountains and the ocean waves,
We do not know what colors they are.
பனியும் அதன் குளிரும்
உடல் உணர்வில் நாம் அறிவோம்
ஊற்றும் மழை நீரும்
தரும் காற்றும் நாம் அறிவோம்
The dew and its coldness,
We know through the feelings of our body.
The pouring rainwater,
And the breeze it gives, we know.

இங்கு அதனால் என்றும் காண்போம்
Without the two eyes on our face,
We gained the inner eyes of the soul.

அருளாய் உண்மைப் பொருளாய்
நிற்கும் இறைவன் அடி போற்றி
உருவே இன்றி அருவாய்
நித்த ஒருவன் அடி போற்றி
முதலும் ஒரு முடிவும் அற்ற
தலைவன் அடி போற்றி
கருணை நல்ல இரக்கம் கொண்ட
கடவுள் அடி போற்றி
As divine grace, as the ultimate truth,
Praise be to the feet of God who stands eternal.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful song conveys the perspective of visually impaired individuals who experience the beauty of creation not through physical vision, but through inner perception, touch, and sensation. Though they cannot see colors, mountains, or flowers, they feel the chill of dew, the touch of rain, and the blow of the wind. They realize that true vision lies within the mind and heart (Agathin Vizhi), allowing them to perceive the divine world clearly. Furthermore, the lyrics deliver a profound spiritual message of universal oneness. It praises the singular divine power known across religions as Allah, Shiva, and Jesus, celebrating God as a formless, endless, and compassionate entity beyond human categorization.
