A beautiful description of ancient Mullai landscape

ஏறுடைப் பெருநிரை கண்ட முல்லைத் தமிழ்வளம்!

HE is a flute charmer. His flood and HIS memorizing eyes do the magic!

மாலையும் வந்தது மாயன் வாரான்!

He belongs to as to others! That makes me pretty lonely!

Original: கண்ணனிற் கொடியது அவன் குழலோசை!

அவ்வருள் அல்லன அருளும் அல்ல!

Nature which nurtured me all these days has become my enemy. The breeze is warm, the flowers don't smell good, even my friends are useless. HE was the only hope but even he deceived me. Should I live any further?
