*even though unequal
unity in function…
the fingers!
ஏற்றத் தாழ்விலும்
இணைந்த இயக்கம்
விரல்கள்
*many coloured flowers
in a single fibre …
the feelings of integrity!
பல வண்ண மலர்கள்
நார் ஒன்றில் …
ஒருமைப்பாட்டுணர்வு
*the tears overflowed
for the little sparrows…
we sold the house!
கண்ணீர் கரைபுரண்டன
விற்ற வீட்டின்
சிட்டுக் குருவிகளுக்காக
*though drowned
blossomed as water circles…
stone thrown in the pond!
மூழிகிய்ம் மலர்ந்தன
நீர் வட்டங்களாய்
குளத்தில் எறிந்த கல்.
*to protect the environment
refused to peck
the silent woodpeckers
மரத்தை கொத்தாமல்
மௌனமாய் மரம் கொத்திகள்
சுற்று சூழல் பாதுகாப்பு
*for seeing the horizon
a sweet journey…
towards the home town!
தொடு வானத்தை தரிசிக்க
இனிய பயணமாய் …
பிறந்த கிராமம் நோக்கி
*the personal language of
the Universe
is silence
அகிலத்தின்
அந்தரங்க மொழி
மௌனம்
*while stepping down
refused to show their faces
the mountain steps.
இறக்கி விடும் பொழுது
முகம் காட்ட மறுக்கின்றன
மழைப் பாதைப் படிகள்.
*even the bitter relations
become sweet jack-fruit-peals
in the shadow of separation
உவர்க்கும் உறவுகளும்
இனிக்கும் பலாச்சுளையாய்
பிரிவின் நிழலில்.
*to see the flowers
always searching in the soil
the roots of a plant
மலர்களைத் தேடி
மண்ணுக்குள் …
வேர்கள்.
*The bamboo embraced
The winter fire holes…
Lovely flute born!
அக்கினித் துளைகளை
அரவணைத்தன மூங்கில்கள்
புல்லாங்குழல் பிரசவமானது
