Chapter 121

நினைந்தவர் புலம்பல்

Love is sweeter than wine; for vast Is its delight at very thought

Pains are off at the lover's thought In all aspects this love is sweet

To sneeze I tried hence but could not Me he tried to think but did not

Have I a place within his heart? Ah from mine he will never depart

Shame! My heart often he enters Banning me entry into his

Beyond the thought of life with him What else of life can I presume?

What will happen if I forget When his memory burns my heart?

I bring him to ceaseless memory He chides not; and thus honours me

Dear life ebbs away by thought Of him who said we are one heart

Hail moon! Set not so that I find Him who left me but not my mind
