பத்திக்காத தீயாய்
எனை சூழ்ந்தாய்
குத்தி பார்க்கும் விழியால்
எனை கொய்தாய்
தத்தி தாவும் தீவாய்
எனை செய்தாய்
நெத்தி வகுடில் நீயே
மழை பெய்தாய்
Like an unlit fire,
You surrounded me,
With eyes that pierce and gaze,
You harvested me.
Like a leaping, dancing island,
You made me.
Upon the parting of my hair,
You showered like rain.
புது ரமலான் பிறை
இங்கு கொடுத்தான் இறை
அவன் அன்பால் நானும்
நிறைந்து வழிந்தேன்
A new crescent moon of Ramadan,
God has granted here.
Through His love, I too,
Overflowed completely.
உன் போர்வையாய் நான் இருக்கிறேன்
நீ எனை அள்ளி
தினம் தினம் தினம் போர்த்திடு
I remain as your blanket,
Gather me close,
And cover yourself with me day after day...
பத்திக்காத தீயாய்
எனை சூழ்ந்தாய்
குத்தி பார்க்கும் விழியால்
எனை கொய்தாய்
கத்தி பேசும் மொழியை
கொலை செய்தாய்
நெத்தி வகுடில் நீயே
மழை பெய்தாய்
Like an unlit fire,
You surrounded me,
With eyes that pierce and gaze,
You harvested me.
The voice that spoke loudly,
You silenced completely.
Upon the parting of my hair,
You showered like rain.
ஓமனே என் ஓமனே
வான் மேகம் தேடும்
தாகம் நீ
வானிலே வரும் வெண்ணிலா
தினம் அள்ளி போகும்
மோகம் நீ
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் இந்த கொஞ்சல் நீளுமோ
Oh my beloved, my darling,
The thirst that sky's clouds seek,
You are that thirst.
The bright moon in the sky,
Taking away every day,
You are that passion.
Will this sweet coaxing prolong a little more?
நீராடு நீ
என் உடல் எனும் கடலுக்குள் இடவலம்
நீராடு நீ
என் உயிர் சூழல் ஆழத்தில்
ஓடி நீ மூழ்குவாய்
நடு நீசி சுட நீ வேகுவாய்
நான் தான் கரைந்து உறைய
உதிருதே உடலின் மென்மைகள் தான்
பதறுதே பாவம் பாவை உடல்
Bathe yourself,
Circumnavigating inside the ocean of my body,
Bathe yourself.
In the depths of my soul's whirlpool,
Run and plunge yourself.
In the dead of night, you burn intensely,
As I melt and freeze,
The softness of the body sheds away,
The poor maiden's body shivers.
ஹம்மிங் :
.............
Inside Paradise,
Of the musk jasmine,
Dreams that bloom...
ஜன்னத்தில் உள் ஒரு
கஸ்தூரி முல்லையின்
பூக்கும் கனவுகளே......
Burning in the water's crescent,
I became a fish.
Oozing rosewater nectar,
I became a flower.
Soaking in damp sand,
I became water.
Consuming forests and oceans,
I became hunger.
தண்ணீர் பிறையில் தகிக்கும்
மீன் ஆனேன்
பன்னீர் அமிழ்தம் கசியும்
பூ ஆனேன்
ஈர மணலில் நனையும்
நீர் ஆனேன்
காடு கடல்கள் பருகும்
பசி ஆனேன்
Unending past winter breeze and summer heat,
You are the pure Zamzam water.
Sent as a messenger of pure affection and perfection,
You are an aspect of that grace.
I poured myself into you over and over to find comfort.
என் நிலை கண்டு நீ பேய் மழை பெய்திடு
நனைந்தாலும் ஏன் காய்கிறேன் நான்
விடாமலே எனை விழுங்கிடு
கடல் குறுகி நதி குறுகி
துளி ஆகட்டுமே
Like an unlit fire,
You surrounded me,
With eyes that pierce and gaze,
You harvested me.
Like a leaping, dancing island,
You made me.
Upon the parting of my hair,
You showered like rain.
வாடை தாண்டி கோடை கூட தீர்ந்திடாத
ஸ்ம் ஸ்ம் நீ
தூது தந்த தூய நேய பூரணத்தின்
அம்சம் நீ
உன்னில் என்னை ஊற்றி ஊற்றி தேற்றினேன்
பத்திக்காத தீயாய்
எனை சூழ்ந்தாய்
குத்தி பார்க்கும் விழியால்
எனை கொய்தாய்
தத்தி தாவும் தீவாய்
எனை செய்தாய்
நெத்தி வகுடில் நீயே
மழை பெய்தாய்
