உலா ஒரு முக உலா
உயிரெங்கும் விழா
உடையுது நிலா
இலா அளவினில் இல்லா
அழகொன்று உண்டா!
குழம்புது கொலா
A procession, a procession of a face
A festival everywhere in my soul
The moon breaks into pieces
Beyond any boundless measure
Is there a beauty like this?
The quiet mind gets confused
விழாமல் மிதக்கிறேன்
ஓரே நாளில் வசிக்கிறேன்
உன்னோடு இருக்கையில்
எனை ரசிக்கிறேன்
I float without falling
I live a whole lifetime in a single day
When I am with you
I admire myself
உலா இரு முக உலா
உயிரெங்கும் விழா
உடையுது நிலா
இலா அளவினில் இல்லா
அழகொன்று உண்டா!
குழம்புது கொலா
A procession, a procession of a face
A festival everywhere in my soul
The moon breaks into pieces
Beyond any boundless measure
Is there a beauty like this?
The quiet mind gets confused
..................
வினா ஒன்று
திகை திகை திகைப்பது
நிமிருதே
வெயில் மழை
இரண்டும் ஒன்றாகுதே
A single question
Stands bewildered and amazed
Rises upright
Sunshine and rain
Both become one together
போகும் தூரங்கள் போகலாம்
அதில் வாழந்த நேரங்கள் போதுமே!
மேகம் நீராகிப் போகலாம்
அதில் வானம் எங்கேயும் நீந்துமே!
The distances ahead may keep stretching
The moments lived in them are enough
Clouds may turn into water
In it, the sky swims everywhere
வார்த்தைகள் போதாது
வாழ்க்கைக்கும் தீராது
காதல் நீ என் கண்ணில் நானே!
ஏ ஹே! யார் என்ன ஆனாலும்
வேர் எங்கே போனாலும்
நாம் செய்து நாம் இங்கே நானே!
Words are never enough
It won't exhaust even for a lifetime
You are the love right inside my eyes
Ye hae, no matter what happens to anyone
Wherever else anyone goes
We are right here for us to unite
திறா! இமை திறக்கிறாள்
சிறு சிறு சிரிப்பிலே
சிறையடைக்கிறாள்
தரா! உணர்வுகள் தரா
குளிர் நுழைக்கிறாய்
கொடை பிடிக்கிறாய்
She opens her endlessly unblinking eyes
In her subtle, sweet smiles
She imprisons my heart
To give, as feelings shower upon me
She lets the cool chill enter
She holds up an umbrella
வராத கவிதைகள்
ஒரே மூச்சினில் பொழியுதே!
தொடாமல் தொடுகிறாய்
நடை மறக்கிறேன்
நடை மறக்கிறேன்
Poems that never arrived before
Pour down in a single breath
You touch me without even touching
I forget how to walk
I forget how to walk
