Did it dilute in the eye? Ho…!
Did the Dawn masquerade it?

Maalai andhikalil manadin sandhugaLil
Tholaindha mugaththai manam thedudhey
The mind searches for the lost face in the crevices of Evenings &
the intricate lanes in itself

Veyyil taar ozhugum nagaara veedhigaLil
Meiyal koNdu maLar vaadudhey
The flower is losing its freshness by ambulating through
molten Tar filled city roads in Heat

Megam sindhum iru thuliyin idaiveliyil
Thurivi thurivi unnai thedudhey
The mind filters & searches for you even
in the gap between two rain drops

Udaiyum nuraigaLilum tholaindha kaadhalanai
Urugi urugi manam thedudhey
The mind searches for its lost Lover with great
sorrow..even in broken bubbles

Azhagiya thirumugam oru muram paarthaal
Amaidhiyul niRaindhuiruppen
If I see your beautiful Face just once, I will be
contempt with silence

Nuniviral koNdu orumurai theendu
NooRu muRai piRandhiruppen
Touch me with your Finger tip..
I will be born a Hundred times!!

PiRai vandhavudan
Nilaa vandhavudan
Nilaa vandhadendru
ULLam thuLLum
When the crescent comes out,
the heart will jump in joy
thinking that the Moon has arrived..

Nizhal kandavudan
Nee endru - indha
Nenjam nenjam vimmum
By seeing the shadow,
My heart will reach its ecstasy
Thinking that it's you!!

Where is my Poetry?

Ore parvai ada ore varthai ada
Ore thodudhal manam yengudhey
The mind longs for just one Look or
Just one Touch..

Muththam podum andha moochchin veppam adhu
Niththam vendumendru vendudhey
It wants & wishes for that warmth given by your
breath while kissing..Everyday!!

Vervai pooththa undhan sattai vaasam
Endru ottum endru manam yengudhey
My mind is yearning for a day when your
sweat-filled shirt would embrace me!

Mugam poothhirukkum mudiyil ondrirandu
Kuththum inbam kannam ketkudhey
The cheek longs for the pleasurable pricking of
your 'stubbled' face..!

Ketkudhey...
It longs..

PaaRayil seidhadhu en manam endru
Thozhikku solliyirundhen
I had told my friend that my heart is a Rock

PaaRayin idukkil ver vitta kodiyaai
Nee nenjil muLaiththu vittai
But You have emerged in my heart like a plant that roots
itself in the cracks of a Rock..

Enna Solla Pogirai

Enna Solla Pogirai
Movie: Kandukondain Kandukondain
Singer: Shankar Mahadevan

Illai Illai solla oru ganam podhum
It just takes a moment to say "No"

Illai endra sollai thanguvadhendraal
To actually come to terms with it

Innum Innum enakkor janmam vendum
I need another birth

Enna solla pogirai?
So what are you going to say?

Sandhana thendralai jannalgal dhandiththal Nyayamaa, Nyayamaa?
Isn't it unfair of the windows to punish the breeze that carries the
fragrance of sandalwood?

Kadhalin kelvikku kangalin badhilenna mounamaa, mounamaa?
Is silence the reply of the eyes to my question of love?

Anbae endhan kaadhal solla, nodi ondru podhumae
My love, it would just take a moment to express my love

Adhai Naanum meippikka thaane, oru aayul vendumae
But to actually prove it, I need a lifetime

Stanza 1:

Idhayam oru kannadi
The heart is a mirror

Unadhu bimbam veezhndhadhadi
Your image fell on it

Idhu dhaan un sondham idhayam sonnadhadi
"She is the one for you!", said my heart!

Kannadi bimbam katta
To tie that image

Kayirondrum illayadi
There is no rope available

kannaadi oonjal bimbam aadudhadi
The image is therefore swaying in the glass swing

Nee Ondru solladi pennae!
Just utter one word my girl!

Illai, Nindru kolladi kannae!
Or just wait and kill me!

Endhan vaazhkkaiye unadhu vizhi vilimbil
My entire life is hanging by the edges of your eyes

Ennai thuraththaadhey, uyir karaiyeradhey
Don't drive me away, my life would remain unfulfilled!

Stanza 2:

Vidiyal vandha pinnalum
Even after it has dawned

Vidiyadha iravu edhu?
Which is the night that is yet to dawn?

Poovasam veesum un koondhaladi
Your tresses that carry the fragrance of flowers

Ivvulagam irunda pinnum
Even after the world is plunged in darkness

Irulaadha baagam edhu
Which is the part that is still bright?

Kadhir vandhu paayum undhan kangaladi
Your radiant eyes of course!

Pala ulaga azhagigal koodi
Several great beauties could come together

Un paadham kazhuvalam vaadi
And painstakingly wash your feet

En thalir malare, innum thayakkamenna?
My young blossom, why hesitate still?

Ennai puriyaadhaa? Idhu vaazhava saava?
Haven't you yet understood me? Is this life or death?
