Kodhikudhu Manasu (From "Sivapu")

Kothikudhe manasu olayaa
 enna mulusaa mulunditta alayaa.
 indha ulagathil enakkku uravunu
 sollikka oruthi kidachita nelayaa.
 en usurayum unakku uyilaa ezhudhi
 koduthadhu enna pilaiyaa?
 Panangaattil uyir pochuda
 nee thandhaai pudhu moochuda
 naam marupadi ingae valanumnu
 manasu thudikkudhada
 Kothikudhe manasu ...
 Yaarumattra nerathula
 nee iruppa dhoorathula.
 pakkathula ulladhupol
 pesikkuven thannaala.
 Yegapatta aasapulla
 yaarukitta naanum solla.
 moodi vachi munagurendi
 moodaavadhu saamathula.
 Kattumarum pola enna
 kaathukara serthuchinga
 peththupotta .
 neethaan thaanguna.
 Killi uchi maramthaandi
 oru patchi ena thaediye
 en manasukull vandhu
 koodonnu katti kudithanam nadanthudhadi
 Kothikudhe manasu ...
 Sondham thaedi odi vandha
 indha nadhi unkarayil.
 kattupattu ninidiche
 kaaranamthaan thonala.
 Indhu magaa samuthiramey
 yaengudhadi unna thaanga.
 eppadi naan vittuduven
 en manasu ketkala.
 Vannikaattu mannukkulla
 aasayellaam podhachi vacha.
 unna kanda pinnaalathaan thondi
 edukkuren.
 nee saaya en thozhudi
 nee nadakka en kaaludi
 nee marupadi ingae
 kuzhandhaya maaridida
 thaaren en usura...
 Kothikudhe manasu ...
