Ponnira Maalai

Ponnira Maalai,
oru seelai ennai kadanthu oda
Venira nilavu,
oru uravu konjam thalai kaata
Vizhigalil thodangum
Uyirukul paravum
Ullam urugum
Kavithai malarum.

Thudikura manathil
ilavayathil oru poo pooka
Adikura kaatril
oru kaadhal en kann paarka
Viralgal korukkum
Thanimai thorkkum
Ithazhgal sirikkum
Ulagam marakkum

Vaarthai ellam thevai illai
Vazhkai ellam vizhi pesum mozhi pothum
Iravin malaril nilavai kandaen
Nilavin mugathil unnai kandu viyaenthene
uyire.

Ponnira Maalai,
poo maalai en mel veezha
Thudikura manathil,
ilavayathil oru poo pooka
Vizhigalil thodangum
Uyirukul paravum
Ullam urugum
Kavithai malarum
