Poetic devices

Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

Unnaalae azhaganen / Un arugae pen aanen

Repetition of the initial letter 'U' ('Unnaalae' and 'Un') across consecutive lines creates rhythmic harmony.

Iyaipu (End Rhyme)

Noiyoo noiyoo / Neeyoo neeyoo

Matching end sounds ('noiyoo' and 'neeyoo') add a musical and poetic cadence to the stanza.

Muran (Oxymoron / Contrast)

Enai thotrenae... / Unai vendrenae...

Contrasts the idea of losing oneself ('thotrenae') with winning the beloved ('vendrenae'), highlighting the joyful paradox of surrender in love.

Metaphor

Idhu valiyillaa noiyoo noiyoo

Love is poetically metaphorized as a painless disease.
