Thannai Thondum Manidhanukke
For the man who tortures himself,

Dhaagam Theerkum Mannai Paar
Look at the soil that quenches his thirst.

Veetich Chaaikkum Pagaivanukke
For the enemy who causes agony,

Nizhal Kodukkum Maraththai Paar
Look at the tree that gives him shade.

Kaambai Koidha Kaattrukke
For the wind that carries destruction,

Vaasam Serkum Poovai Paar
Look at the flower that gives it fragrance.

Sedham Uliyaal Seyyum Kaikke
For the hands that chisel damage,

Silai Kodukkum Kallai Paar
Look at the stone that forms a sculpture.

Mannippi Illaamale Manmeedhile Yedhumillai
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.

Manniththa Pinnaale Nenjil Enrum Baaramillai
After forgiveness, there’s no burden in the heart.

Andha Orakkadalin Seerum Alaiyaai
The waves from a stormy ocean,

Modhum Ulle Vanjam
Collide within with deceit.

Oar Aazhak Kadalin Amaidhi Kollum
A heart as calm as a deep ocean

Mannikkum Nenjam
Knows only forgiveness.

Ada Pizhaigal Seidhum, Pizhaiyaai Seidhum
Oh, even when he makes mistakes knowingly,

Kattraan Manidhan Konjam
Man learns just a little.

Thavarukkellaam Dhandiththaal Verum
If all errors were punished,

Saambal Daan Minjum
Only ashes would remain.

Ilai Yennum Kanneer Sindhi
When the leaves shed tears,

Maram Seidha Paavam Enna
What sin has the tree committed?

Ilavenir Kaalam Vandhu
The future comes,

Pookkal Neetti Punnagai Seigiradhe
and flowers bloom with a smile.

Oru Yaanai Saana Veppathil
When an elephant is driven by heat,

Adhu Pona Dhooram Solven
I could tell you how far it goes.

Kaal Thadaththin Aazham Paarthe
After seeing the depth of a footprint,

Puliyin Yedai Enna Solven
I could tell you the weight of a tiger.

Oru Thattaan Poocchiyin Varugayile
When a butterfly approaches,

Mazhai Kottum Tharunam Solven
I could tell the moment the rains fall.

Oru Kuruvi Pogum Thisaiyai Konde
Where a sparrow flies,

Aruvenge Solven
I could tell you where it goes.

Aasaiyum Ipperuvanam Ellaam
All this vast sky and desire,

Arivene Thulliyamaaga
I know them in drops.

Ariyaa Magan Un Manam Mattum
But, dear child, your heart alone

Puriya Pudhiraai Ornum Theriyavillai
remains an unsolved mystery.
