மலர்காணின் மையாத்தி நெஞ்சே இவள்கண்
பலர்காணும் பூவொக்கும் என்று. (1112)
நெஞ்சே..நெஞ்சே மயங்காதே…
கண்ணுக்கும் பூவுக்கும் வித்தியாசம் இல்லையா???
நெஞ்சே ..நெஞ்சே மயங்காதே…
Translation :
You deemed, as you saw the flowers, her eyes were as flowers, my soul,
That many may see; it was surely some folly that over you stole!
Explanation :
O my soul, fancying that flowers which are seen by many can resemble her eyes, you become confused at the sight of them.
