Verum Kanava? Kaanal Neera?

Erimalai Ponra Vaazhkaiyil
Aangaange Oru Poonthottam
Oru Vaarathil Irendu Naal
Pottal Dhaan Enna Kondattam

Anbargoludu Oru Sila Mani Neram
Kadarkarayil Sila Nimidam Amaidhi
Sombal Murikamal Adhiganeram Urakkam
Mugavari Illadha Idathil Tholaivoma?

Dinasari Alaichalai Konjam Marandhu
Thalaiku Mel Vetta Velicha aagayam
Kaalin keezh Methai Ponra Pulveli
Thirumba Oduvadharku Thevayana Marundhu

Pookalin Nirangalai Rasipadharkum
Ain pulangalin Magathuvam Arivadhirkum
Pozhudhupokku galai Seendi Paarkavum
Ketpadhellam Irendu Naal Vidumurai
