Thiruvempavai
Translated in to free verse
By
P.R.Ramachander

Adhiyum andhamum illa aru perum

Pasam param jothikenbai eraa pagal Naam
Muthanna Ven nagyai , mun vandu edhir ezhunden

Onnithila nagayai innam pularnthindro?

Malariya Nanmuganum Kanaa Malayinai Nam
Manee nee nennalai nalai vandungali

Anne ivayum chilavo pala amarar

Kozhi chilabha chilambum kurukkengum
Munnai pazham porutkum munnai pazham porule
Pathalam ezhinum keezh chor kazhivu pada malar
Moyyar thadam poygai pukku mugger ena
Aartha piravi thuyar keda naam arthadum
Painkuvalai kaar malaral chengamala paimpodal
Kadaar kuzhai ada paimpoon kalan ada
Or orukal emperuman enrenre nam peruman
Munni kadala churukki ezhum thudaiyal
Chenganavapal disai mugan pal devargal pal
Annamalaiyan adi kamalam chendru irainjum
Un kayil pillai unakke adaikalamenru
Pothi aruluga nin adhiyam padha malar
