The wound inflicted by your eyes
Is a magic healed by your hand
The passion born because of you
Is the time to be quenched by you
பொல்லாத மோக
தீயில் என் உள்ளம் வாடுதே
சொல்லாத ஆசை நோயில்
கொல்லாமல் தேடுதே
In the cruel fire of passion
My heart is wilting away
In the unsaid illness of desire
It searches relentlessly without killing me
உறவினில் புது
கவிதைகள் மீண்டும்
மீனும் பார்க்க தூண்டும்

Sprinkled with rosewater, intoxicated hearts
Hearts converse through subtle gestures
When blowing in the soft breeze
Pleasures set up a grand stage
முந்தானை ஆடும்
போதில் செந்தூர கோலமே
முன்னொரு நாளும் போனால்
சிங்கார ராகமே
When the saree pallu sways gently
It forms a decorative motif of vermilion
When another day passes by
It turns into a beautiful melody
சுகம்தரும் புது
கனவுகள் மீண்டும் மீண்டும்
பார்க்க தூண்டும் ஆஆ
New sweet dreams that yield bliss
Tempt us to dream them again and again
