இலவிதழ்வாய் வீழ்வார் இகழ்வார் அவர்தம்கலவி கடைக்கணித்தும் காணேன் இலகுமொளிஆடகஞ்சேர் அம்பலத்தே ஆளுடையார் நின்றாடும்நாடகங்கண் டன்பான நான்.
In plain words
Women whose mouths have lips like silk-cotton petals may love or may scorn. Their embraces I will not look upon even from the corner of my eye, I who turned to love when I saw the drama the Lord who owns me dances, standing in the Hall set with gold of shining light.
Line by line
Those of mouths with silk-cotton-petal lips, who desire, who scorn: their union, even with a side-glance, I will not look at; shining light in the Hall joined with gold, the Lord who owns me stands and dances the drama, having seen, I who became love.
